Online session options
How Natalie Uses Narrative and ACT Online
In online sessions Natalie draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face. This approach invites people to tell their story, notice recurring themes, and try different storylines to reduce the problem's hold. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, complements that work by helping clients clarify values and take small steps toward what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings.She treats choosing an approach as a team effort. During early sessions she listens to a person's goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit those aims. Together the client and therapist adjust the plan over time so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
