Narrative and Practical Approaches Online

Shontrice often pairs Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems in their lives by identifying the stories they tell about themselves and testing new, more helpful narratives. Client-Centered work focuses on listening deeply and following what each person needs in the moment, creating space for honest expression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and comfort level, and they adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or get support between calls and can work well for those who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy days or life transitions.
