Online session options
How narrative and skill-based therapy translate online
Megan commonly combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered work and DBT skills to support change. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite the meaning of past events, which can ease shame and make new choices clearer. Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and respected so people can set the pace and goals for their own healing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, useful for anxiety, mood swings, and substance-related urges.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Megan treats the selection as a collaboration - she will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust techniques over time. That means sessions can emphasize storytelling and insight one week and practical skills and coaching the next, depending on what helps most.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer, interactive sessions and skill practice. Phone calls take less bandwidth and can work well for check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
