How Narrative and Cognitive Tools Work Online
Gloria uses Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves, then helps rewrite parts that cause pain or limit choices. Narrative work often helps when people feel stuck by a label or a single way of seeing a situation.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which mixes accepting difficult feelings with committing to value-driven actions. ACT can help when anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gloria will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs. She sees decision-making as collaborative and adjusts plans when something doesn’t feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and use interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, brief coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts.
These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy day while keeping the focus on practical steps and narrative changes that lead to different choices and routines.
