Online session options

How narrative and attachment work online

Dr. Tullis blends Narrative Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to guide online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people use to make sense of their lives and helps separate a person from limiting narratives so new possibilities can appear. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behaviors, which is useful for intimacy, communication, and parenting concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and pace, making sessions collaborative and respectful of personal priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or hindered in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on how well they fit.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for role-play, communication coaching, and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier on bandwidth and fit a work break or a walk. Live chat and text messaging work for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit a client's schedule and daily life.
