Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online care
Elizabeth often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how events and relationships shape meaning and helps people consider alternative ways to understand their experiences.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and helping the client set their own pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try together. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and workable for you.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing through thoughts is helpful.
These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a routine, try different formats for different needs, and continue therapy when schedules change.
