Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Natalie commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and to identify alternate stories that align with their values and goals. That approach can be useful for identity work, grief, and shifting unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another focus; it teaches noticing thoughts without getting stuck on them and committing to actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what is and isn't helpful so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coping support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into daily routines and to use the approaches above in flexible ways.
