Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Leo uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, and to try out new, more helpful ways of understanding their lives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on chosen values and practical actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people build clearer patterns of connection and trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leo treats this as a collaborative process where the therapist and client review what helps and adjust methods over time. He will check in about goals and tailor the mix of techniques to match the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
