Online session options
How narrative and action-focused therapies work online
Gabriel often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reorganize the stories they live by, which can make problems feel less defining. It’s useful for work on identity, life purpose, and feeling stuck.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. Client-centered work keeps the pace set by the person and emphasizes active listening and empathy to guide decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Gabriel works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative approach means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs.
