Online session options
How narrative and action-focused therapies work online
Autumn commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they live by and notice alternative ways of understanding themselves and their problems. Narrative work is useful for relationship patterns, identity questions, and recurring cycles that feel stuck.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Client-centered techniques are used to keep sessions grounded in the client’s pace and priorities, offering space to be heard while choosing goals together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Autumn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to lean into narrative exploration, ACT strategies, CBT exercises, or a mix tailored to the situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more involved conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works well for quick check-ins or written reflections. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs.
