Online session options
Narrative and Person-Focused Care Online
Mary often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, spotting patterns that keep them stuck and opening up new ways of living. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the person’s own values and goals, offering a steady, respectful space to talk through difficult decisions.Mary combines these with Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple skills for noticing thoughts and calming the body. Mindfulness practices can help with anxiety, stress, and staying present when hard emotions arise. Together these approaches give both insight and practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, checking in and adjusting as progress unfolds. This makes it easier to focus on what actually helps rather than sticking to a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently while handling work, caregiving, or travel demands.
