Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Dr. Catechis uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and then rewrite those stories in ways that reduce suffering. Narrative work can be useful for people who feel stuck in an identity or pattern that no longer fits them.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and social fears because it offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video lets people see facial cues and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions remove the need for a camera and can be helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and flexible timing between longer sessions.
