Online session options
How Narrative and Acceptance work online
Online work with Tamika draws from Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships; online sessions give space to notice those stories and try new ways of describing problems and strengths. ACT helps people clarify values and practice small actions that move them toward what matters, which can be planned and reviewed in remote sessions.She also uses client-centered listening to shape treatment around each person's goals. Figuring out the right mix of approaches is a team effort - the therapist will ask about needs, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to set priorities and test small changes between meetings so progress feels practical and measurable.
Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging are offered to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messages are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or tracking steps between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain ongoing support while juggling daily responsibilities.
