How Narrative and Acceptance-Based Work Translate Online
Yomaris often uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. That approach helps when patterns of thinking or past events keep repeating in ways that feel stuck. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which focuses on naming values and trying small actions that align with those values even when feelings are difficult. Together these approaches can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Yomaris will listen to your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. She explains options in clear terms and adjusts methods based on what helps you make steady progress and feel more in charge of daily choices.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you use visual cues and do deeper conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, homework, or when writing helps you sort thoughts. These formats make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving demands, or when travel is difficult.
