Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Therapy with Damon often draws on Narrative Therapy to separate people from the problems they face. Narrative work helps name patterns in a person's story and open up different ways of living. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client, prioritizing listening and the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when clients want hands-on tools to change worrying thoughts and everyday behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Damon treats the process as collaborative and will help figure out whether narrative exploration, client-centered support, or CBT techniques suit your goals. He discusses options and adjusts the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, check-ins between sessions, or when a longer phone or video session does not fit a schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
