How narrative and skills-based work well online
Reba combines Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change how they understand and react to problems. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem so new options can appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Reba will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. If something does not fit, she will adjust the plan so the work matches your needs and pace.
Online formats make this collaborative work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want deep discussion. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing encouragement between full sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, or other demands.
