Online session options
How narrative and practical therapies work online
Dr. Doughty uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and rethink the stories that shape their choices. This approach focuses on identifying recurring themes in a person’s life story and finding alternative meanings that open new options. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on careful listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions.He may add elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach simple, concrete skills for managing anxiety, changing unhelpful thinking, and improving sleep. Those techniques are practical and can be practiced between sessions to build momentum. Together these approaches aim to be collaborative; the therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit breaks during a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, ongoing notes, or support when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel schedules.
