Online session options
How narrative and practical work translate to online therapy
Monet often combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered care to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from their problems so they can look at patterns and choose different actions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following the person's lead, which helps build trust and clarify goals.She also uses core ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to turn insights into concrete steps. CBT-style techniques help people notice thoughts and try new behavior experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Together these approaches give both perspective and practical tools, and Monet works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls support a typical therapy hour and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat allows a shorter paced conversation, and messaging helps keep progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and try different formats as needs change.
