How narrative and skills-based therapy work online
Norma combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral tools to address personal stories and everyday habits. Narrative Therapy helps people look at how their life stories shape current feelings and choices, and then consider alternative narratives that reduce shame or stuck patterns. Client-centered work prioritizes listening and collaboration so goals reflect each person’s values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and routines.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Norma will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the issue, and adjust as needed. She treats therapy as a conversation where both therapist and client experiment with strategies until something helps in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more convenient. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling support, or following up between sessions. These options let people access regular support while balancing work, caregiving, or mobility needs.
