Practical approaches for online therapy and personal change
Dr. Dell often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach looks at how personal narratives shape feelings and behavior, and it helps people rewrite those stories to support change and healing.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationships affect trust, closeness, and emotional responses. That work can help people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and try different patterns that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while staying connected to a licensed professional.
