Background and approach
Brawley listens for the clues in a person's story and helps put them together into a clearer picture. She often uses creative materials such as writing, movies, and poetry to make sessions feel personal and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all. Her methods draw on Narrative Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques.
Sessions can also include journaling, dream reflection, mindfulness practice, and other creative arts to surface meaning and new options. The tone is nonjudgmental and focused on what matters to the individual. Dr.
Brawley believes small problems are worth attention. If something bothers someone, that is a valid place to start. She frames change as a process people can learn from, even when issues wake them at night.
People connect with her practical, exploratory style when they want guidance through change or an investigative way to solve persistent problems. She welcomes international clients and offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Narrative and Acceptance-based work over video or text
Dr. Brawley often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reorganize the stories that shape their daily life. Narrative work looks at how events are framed and helps people find alternative storylines that open new possibilities. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which guides people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls let people maintain visual connection for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief, focused exchanges between sessions and support people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and accessible across different schedules and locations.
