Online session options
How Narrative and ACT work online
Dr. Murati uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach helps when old patterns of thinking make stress, shame, or relationship problems feel permanent. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is also part of her work; it focuses on spotting painful thoughts, choosing personal values, and taking small actions that move people toward those values.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats therapy as a collaborative process and will try methods that match a person's goals and daily life. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to use and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions fit when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint helps fit therapy into a busy day. These options let people keep momentum while balancing other responsibilities.
