Practical therapy approaches for online care
Eric combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles to help people understand and reshape the stories that guide their lives. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from their problems so they can rewrite limiting stories, which often helps with issues like identity, life purpose, and family of origin concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take actions that match those values while learning simple acceptance and mindfulness skills to manage difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Eric will talk with a person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what is not, so the work stays practical and goal-focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer ongoing support between meetings and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice new skills in everyday life.
