Online session options
How Narrative and ACT Shape Online Care
Dr. Ghannam often uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell different stories about themselves. This approach looks at the stories that shape how someone sees a problem and helps people find alternate, more empowering ways to talk about their lives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and actions that matter to them. That work can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also brings in attachment-based ideas when relationships and connection are central to the concern. These approaches are used alongside client-centered listening to make sure goals match what the person actually wants. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to try approaches that fit their needs and preferences and adjust as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can be used for in-depth sessions and online exercises, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when a check-in is needed, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
