Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Veronica often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people retell the stories that shape their lives. This work looks at the meanings people give to events and helps create alternative, more useful narratives that reduce shame and increase choice. It can be useful for issues like grief, identity concerns, and feelings of emptiness.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and ongoing relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand recurring relationship reactions, address abandonment or attachment worries, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you pick methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you can experiment with different strategies and adjust the plan as you learn what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can support deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
