Online session options
How narrative and skills-based methods work online
Chabreah uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell their stories in new ways, noticing patterns and finding alternate meanings that reduce shame and stuckness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and teaches practical skills for living in line with personal values while tolerating difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas are used to identify habits in relationships and practice different approaches to closeness and communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can test what helps, adjust techniques, and focus on changes that matter most to you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or unpredictable schedules while still receiving care from licensed professionals.
