Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Elizabeth combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based thinking in her online work. Narrative Therapy helps people re-tell difficult life stories so painful patterns feel less defining and more changeable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-based steps even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that seem most useful. The plan is collaborative - she checks in and adjusts the approach as work progresses so it stays relevant to real life challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises that use nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief questions, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing rather than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
