How narrative and practical approaches work online
Stephen often uses Narrative Therapy, which helps people tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives. This approach is useful for spotting recurring patterns and opening up new possibilities for identity and relationships.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's priorities and pace. That means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters, and supports self-directed change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT is practical and helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they try methods that fit the individual and adjust as needed over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video helps with face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins during a busy day. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules and keep momentum between full sessions.
