Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
David often blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from the person. It can be useful for identity issues, relationship patterns, and making meaning after loss. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding so clients feel heard and can lead the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and replaces them with clearer actions for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they review what’s working and adjust the focus as needed so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for quicker check-ins, and chat or messaging suits short updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and to keep continuity when life is busy.
