Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Markyse directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How different approaches shape online sessions
Markyse uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and spot patterns that no longer serve them, which can be helpful for issues like trauma, identity, and feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy is another core piece of her work; she prioritizes listening without judgment and helps people name their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including practical skills from CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, is used when someone needs tools to manage anxiety, mood shifts, or stressful reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about what matters most, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as goals evolve. The focus is on clear steps and shared decision making rather than a fixed formula.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around daily life.
