Online session options
How narrative and client-centered work translates online
Online sessions can include Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reframe difficult experiences. Narrative practice encourages examining the stories that shape feelings and choices so clients can test new perspectives and make different decisions.Client-Centered Therapy is also well suited to online work because it focuses on listening and following the client's pace. That approach helps people feel heard and respected while they set the goals and tempo for change. Mindfulness Therapy offers concrete breath and grounding practices that can be taught and practiced during video or phone sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily life, then adapt methods to fit you. Clients often try a mix of story work, goal-focused tasks, and short mindfulness exercises to see what helps most.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video lets you work face-to-face; phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text works well for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility so therapy can match your routine and needs.
