Online session options

How Narrative and Client-Centered Work Online

Martine uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and others, and to separate problems from identity. This can be useful for relationship strain, grief, or feeling stuck in repeating patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's perspective and builds a supportive space for them to find their own answers; this helps when someone needs a calm place to sort priorities and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martine invites people to try different methods and decides together which fits best. She pairs narrative questions, reflective listening, and practical CBT-style steps when that combination helps reach a goal. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.

Online sessions come in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn't needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, travel, or differing bandwidth needs. Martine uses these formats to keep momentum between sessions and to offer flexible ways to practice new skills.
