Online session options
How Narrative and Attachment Work Online
Monique uses Narrative therapy to help people name the stories they tell about themselves and try new, more helpful versions of those stories. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and identity questions because it focuses on changing unhelpful narratives rather than labeling people.She also draws on attachment-based methods to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people recognize repeating dynamics, improve communication, and try different ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and personal preferences and then choose strategies together. It is common to mix Narrative ideas with CBT or DBT skills when a client wants concrete tools for mood, sleep, or anger management.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls let people use visual cues for work that relies on relationship patterns. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging can make short check-ins and skill practice easier between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
