Online session options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Robert blends Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to shape online work. Narrative therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems, which can reduce shame and open possibilities for change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building small, value-driven steps while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, respectful stance where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build trust and direction.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Robert will talk with the client about what matters most, what has or hasn't helped before, and what feels realistic. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress unfolds, keeping the client's goals central to the plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or busy schedules while keeping the work collaborative and focused on real-life change.
