Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work translates online
Patrick blends Narrative therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques in online sessions. Narrative therapy invites people to tell their stories and notice the themes that shape their lives, which helps with trauma, attachment issues, and feeling stuck. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral methods help identify unhelpful thoughts and teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, anger, and low mood.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they’ll try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time to fit changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a voice check-in is preferred. Live chat or messaging works well for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or shorter check-ins during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical change.
