Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work translates online
Angela often blends Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients online. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative, more empowering narratives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, homework support, or days when a shorter, flexible touchpoint fits best.
