Online session options
Online approaches that focus on your story and goals
Delsondra uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe and make new sense of their life stories. This approach looks at the narratives that shape behavior and relationships, and it can be useful when someone feels stuck by old patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take committed action even when feelings or thoughts are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change behavior. Both methods work well for anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. The focus is on matching tools to what the person wants to accomplish, not on forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit a busy break or low-bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health routines while working with a licensed professional.
