Online session options

How Narrative and Practical Methods Translate Online

Silvia uses Narrative Therapy to help clients separate themselves from problems and see new possibilities in their life story. That approach is useful when people feel stuck in a repeating pattern or want to rewrite how they relate to stress and relationships. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and building trust to help people clarify goals and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Silvia collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so sessions stay relevant and useful rather than following a fixed script.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in works better. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to touch base between meetings or get support when scheduling is tight. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while working with licensed professionals.
