Online session options
How narrative and values-based work translate online
Stephanie blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work to tailor online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reshape their personal stories so painful events stop defining them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small actions toward those values even when strong emotions are present. Attachment-based ideas look at past relationship patterns to understand current reactions and to try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques across sessions so the plan feels useful and realistic rather than academic or one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit around life. Video works well for deeper conversation and noticing interaction patterns. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for brief coaching, ongoing reflection, or scheduling quick touchpoints. These options aim to make consistent work easier to keep up with while supporting real therapeutic progress.
