Online session options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Many clients find Narrative Therapy helpful for telling their story in new ways and separating a person from a problem. It can be useful when relationships, identity or life stories feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them and to move toward meaningful actions despite discomfort.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds so the plan stays aligned with what matters most to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy life. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or chat can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family and travel.
