Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Genee directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and practical therapies work online
Genee often combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate the person from problems so new possibilities can emerge. Client-centered work emphasizes respectful listening and following the client's pace to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different ways of working, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize storytelling, reflective conversation, or skills practice during sessions.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text help with brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when writing feels clearer. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across changing circumstances.
