Online session options
How narrative and ACT work online
Dr. Armour uses Narrative Therapy to help people name the stories that shape their choices and notice alternative ways of seeing themselves. That approach is useful for relationship strain, identity questions, and recurring patterns that feel stuck. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions tied to personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, then try methods together to see what fits. The collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions or fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These formats help make consistent work possible despite a hectic schedule.
