How narrative and practical approaches work online
Dr. Clark uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reshape the stories that shape their lives. This work helps when past events or labels feel stuck or limiting, and it can open new ways to think about relationships, parenting, or identity.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it combines acceptance with practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common tool she uses to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors for immediate relief from anxiety or mood symptoms.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they shape a plan that may mix narrative work, ACT, and CBT to match the client's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of meeting until the right rhythm is found.
