How narrative, client-centered, and CBT work online
Randall draws on narrative therapy to help people tell and reshape the stories that guide their choices. That approach looks at how life events and relationships have shaped a person’s self-view and opens space to try new ways of meaning-making. It can be useful for issues like addiction, grief, and identity concerns.He also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person's own goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort priorities, values, or relationship questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety, sleep problems, or mood struggles. CBT offers concrete exercises for day-to-day coping.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused on practical, achievable change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session with face-to-face interaction. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style support, or times when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or medical schedules.
