Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tiffany directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Tiffany’s approaches translate to online work
Many of Tiffany’s methods focus on the stories people tell and on relationships. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from a problem and rewrite difficult life stories, which can ease guilt and shame and clarify life purpose. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current connections, useful for trust, commitment, and communication issues.Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. In practice this means sessions that prioritize listening, validation, and the client’s own goals. Tiffany will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches fit best based on their needs and preferences rather than applying a single method from the start.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand and offer options that avoid the need to be on camera if that feels better for the person. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm what formats are available before booking so arrangements match your needs. Working remotely still centers on conversation, reflection, and homework between sessions to support progress.
