Online session options

How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online

Genevieve commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and the roles those stories play. This approach helps uncover new meanings and alternatives for personal challenges like low self-esteem, relationship conflict, or life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening without judgment and focusing on what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical ways to test thoughts and actions, useful for anxiety, mood symptoms, and patterns that keep recurring.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Genny works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. She will check in about what feels helpful and adjust the mix of narrative exploration and practical skills as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief, ongoing touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
