Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Chavekka combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reshape the story they tell about themselves, which can reduce the hold of painful events. Client-centered methods focus on listening and following what matters most to the client to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete exercises to try different responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That conversation may shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging supports brief updates, real-time reflection, or ongoing coaching between synchronous sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
