How narrative and skill-based approaches work online

Dennies blends Narrative ideas with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered techniques to help people understand and change the stories that shape their lives. Narrative work looks at how a person describes their past and present, and helps create newer, more helpful stories that support change. Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior, useful for people dealing with abandonment, parenting stress, or blended family issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can lead their own growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennies will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions often combine storytelling, moments of reflection, and practical exercises so the plan fits day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions and work through ideas without scheduling a call. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
