Online session options
Working with narrative and practical therapies online
People can expect a mix of Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and find alternative ways to understand their experiences. It can be useful for identity questions, relationship patterns, and making sense of life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when emotions are difficult; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods collaboratively. That may mean combining narrative reflection with behavioral exercises, or using ACT practices alongside cognitive tools to manage unhelpful thoughts.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging can support ongoing coaching, short updates, and skill practice between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
