How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online

Shara combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed thinking to help people rethink their life stories and take meaningful action. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories and notice other ways to describe their lives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match what matters most. Attachment-informed ideas help identify patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape current struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats therapy as a collaboration and will talk with each person about the goals, preferences, and practical needs that matter most. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress or new concerns appear.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or cameras are a problem, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or if written reflection feels more natural. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, manage follow-up between meetings, and keep momentum when life gets hectic.
