How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Dr. Collins combines Narrative Therapy ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for times when those stories don’t apply, which can open the way to new possibilities and clearer choices. Client-centered work centers the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration to shape goals and the pace of work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear steps for spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship and communication struggles. Together these approaches let narrative work stay grounded in practical daily skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration allows adjustments over time as new concerns or strengths appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to work in small moments between sessions and fit help around a busy schedule. These options increase flexibility and make ongoing work more manageable for many people.
