Online session options

How narrative work and skills translate to online therapy

Blakely often uses Narrative Therapy, which looks at the stories people tell about themselves and asks which parts of those stories help or hold them back. This approach can help with identity questions, body image, and family-of-origin concerns by separating a person from their problems and highlighting strengths.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT skills to teach practical tools for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. DBT work is useful for stress, anger, addictions, and mood swings because it gives clear, repeatable steps people can practice between sessions.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust as they learn what helps. That means blending story-focused reflection with concrete skills when both are useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t ideal, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints, and let clients pick what works best for their schedule and bandwidth.
