How narrative and evidence-based methods work online
Therapy with Brittany often blends Narrative work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories so they feel less limiting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to take action that matches their values. Attachment-based approaches focus on how early connection patterns affect current relationships and coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Brittany will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and then try strategies together to see what fits. This collaborative process means the plan can shift as needs change and as what helps becomes clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to get regular support. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on practical steps and daily routines.
