Online session options

Using narrative and client-centered work online

Daniel often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they carry, then look for alternative storylines that feel more hopeful and manageable. This approach is useful for grief, identity questions, and major life transitions.

He also relies on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's experience and priorities. Sessions focus on listening, reflection, and supporting a person to name their own goals and next steps. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with stress, anxiety, and coping with chronic pain by teaching simple attention and grounding practices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Daniel treats the choice of method as a collaboration. He will discuss goals, try approaches together, and adjust based on what helps most in session and between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or when a written reflection feels helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
