Online session options
How Narrative and Solution-Focused Work Online
Two approaches guide much of her work. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem. This can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, family of origin patterns, and feelings of emptiness. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps that move you toward your goals and is helpful for tackling stress, workplace problems, and short-term challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will listen to your concerns, discuss different ways of working, and collaborate on a plan that matches your needs and preferences. That plan can change as you make progress or as new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing helps you organize thoughts. These options make it easier to get consistent support without long commutes or schedule disruption.
