How Narrative and Action-Oriented Methods Work Online
Courtney uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult stories and look at life events from new angles. This approach is useful for shifting patterns that feel stuck and for reclaiming personal agency when old narratives feel limiting.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and to take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for learning concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Together these methods help with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Courtney will check in about what feels helpful and adjust methods to match goals and preferences. She frames therapy as a partnership and helps people choose strategies that fit their daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face across distance, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
