Online session options
How narrative and skills-focused work translates online
Delissa uses Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions into clear, practical work. Narrative Therapy helps people retell and reframe their life stories so painful themes lose power and new options appear. This approach is useful for grief, shame, and relationship wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and gives simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and addiction.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and daily rhythms, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients set the pace and decide which concerns deserve priority while the therapist offers tools and gentle challenge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of exercises. Phone sessions work well when a lower bandwidth option is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let clients send updates or process between scheduled sessions. These options help people keep steady momentum without major travel or schedule disruption.
