How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Stan blends Narrative work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods. Narrative work looks at the stories people carry about themselves and helps rewrite those stories in more helpful ways. It is useful when patterns from the past shape current choices and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered work emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the person guides the pace and focus of sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Stan will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust them as work progresses, blending story-focused conversations with practical skills when helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style contacts. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
