Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are available when practical to change unhelpful thoughts and ground someone in the moment.

Online session options
How narrative and action-focused methods work online
Andy commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell limiting life stories and see alternative possibilities. Narrative work separates the person from a problem so they can notice patterns and choose different responses. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages people to clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Client-Centered Therapy informs his approach too, emphasizing a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that follows the client's pace.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they may try a narrative exercise one week, a values-based ACT practice the next, and a short behavioral experiment to test a new habit between sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short problem-solving, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to sustain regular work on goals.
