Online session options
Narrative and Action-Oriented Approaches for Online Care
Carolyn blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful events by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. It’s useful for grief, family of origin issues, and feeling stuck in old patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That partnership guides whether sessions lean more toward storytelling, values-based action, emotion work, or skills practice.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and practice of new skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use therapy in brief moments throughout the week. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people match the format to the task at hand.
