How Narrative, ACT, and Skills Work Online
Necole blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered skills to address real-life problems. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider other ways of understanding past events. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing values-based actions despite them. Client-centered work prioritizes the person’s experience, offering listening and empathy while the client decides which changes matter most.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and try different methods to see what fits a person’s needs and preferences. Work is collaborative - the aim is to find tools that feel useful and to adjust them over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection and more in-depth work are needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing communication between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
