How Narrative and Values-Based Work Translate Online
Bonneka often uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice and change the stories that shape their feelings and choices. This approach invites clients to externalize problems and consider alternative narratives that open up new possibilities for action and meaning.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people clarify their values and take small, value-driven steps despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach too, offering a nonjudgmental space where a person’s perspective guides the pace and priorities of the work.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt methods over time. Together they decide which tools feel most useful and practical for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, or steady coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while trying different approaches to see what helps most.
