How narrative and action-focused work translates online
Yolanda uses Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they carry about themselves and their relationships. This approach looks at how a person's life story shapes feelings and choices and helps identify alternative, more helpful narratives.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to encourage values-based action. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing small steps that align with what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she considers relationship patterns and family of origin concerns, helping people recognize how early bonds affect current reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Yolanda will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the mix of narrative work, ACT strategies, and attachment-focused insights as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for deeper conversational work, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is low, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
