Online session options
Approaches that shape online sessions
A few approaches guide her online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps them notice different, more empowering ways to understand those stories; it can be useful for relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and reactions, which can be helpful for communication and parenting struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with narrative work, adding CBT exercises, or focusing on attachment patterns depending on what the client wants to address and how they respond in early sessions.
Online appointments are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins or those who prefer writing, and the range makes scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or health demands.
