Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Stella commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and separate themselves from painful labels. This approach helps people see problems as something they live with rather than who they are, which can ease shame and open new choices.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts that fuel anxiety and depression and to practice alternative ways of thinking. CBT gives straightforward exercises people can use between sessions to notice change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotional regulation and stress tolerance are priorities, providing practical tools to manage intense feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and steer the focus of sessions so the work feels relevant.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes scheduling easier and reduces travel time. Video suits in-depth conversations, phone can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or skill practice. These options provide flexibility for people juggling family, work, or other commitments.
