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.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Priscilla directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and ACT approaches translate to online care
Priscilla often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps separate a problem from the person and makes it easier to try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common thread in her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when strong feelings remain. Client-centered techniques shape how she listens and reflects, creating space for people to guide the conversation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Priscilla works together with clients to test methods and adjust based on what fits their goals, values, and day-to-day life. That collaborative stance helps identify whether narrative reframing, ACT strategies, or skills from cognitive and emotion-focused work feel most useful.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video works well for longer conversations and relationship work when visual cues matter. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing coaching-style support easier to fit into a busy week. These options help people keep momentum between sessions and access care that fits their schedule.
