Online session options
Narrative and skills-based care you can access online
Emily blends Narrative work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help people reframe their stories and build useful coping skills. Narrative work helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and notice other possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches practical ways to accept difficult feelings while moving toward chosen values. Client-Centered therapy centers the person’s own experience and aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space for change.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Emily treats that as a collaboration. She listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests a mix of approaches that fit your needs. Together you can try different tools and decide which ones feel most helpful over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can serve as brief check-ins or support between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep working on goals even when schedules are tight.
