Online session options
How narrative and ACT approaches translate to online care
Rachel uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reframe the stories they carry about themselves. That work focuses on identifying unhelpful narratives and creating alternative, more useful ways of understanding one’s experiences. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by teaching practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while taking actions that match personal values. Client-Centered Therapy informs the tone of sessions, keeping the conversation respectful, empathetic, and guided by each person’s own priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will collaborate with each person to see which methods feel most helpful and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. Sessions often blend narrative exercises, values-based tasks from ACT, and client-centered listening to create a plan that fits the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use the style of communication that feels most comfortable.
