Online session options
How narrative and attachment approaches work online
Therapy often starts with telling the story that brought someone in. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the threads in their life story and try out different meanings for old events. It can be useful for issues like identity, grief, and feeling stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships. This approach helps people understand patterns around closeness, trust, and abandonment and work toward more stable connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie treats therapy as a collaboration - she will listen, suggest approaches that match goals, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Together the client and therapist decide whether Narrative, attachment work, or practical cognitive-behavioral tools feel best.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people talk face-to-face, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins or steady, ongoing contact. These options give flexibility to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping focus on progress and practical steps.
