Online session options
How these approaches shape online care
Connie uses Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people name and reshape the stories that shape their choices, which can relieve shame and open new options. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while learning to handle painful thoughts and feelings.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Connie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit the situation. She treats the choice as a collaboration and adjusts methods as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face dialogue and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing check-ins and brief reflections between full sessions. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and travel.
