Online session options
Approach and online therapy that fit your life
Dr. Stevens uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and reframe difficult experiences. This approach helps when past events shape how you see yourself and your choices. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.The right approach is something she finds together with each person. Sessions begin with listening to what matters to you, then mapping goals and trying methods that match those goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the approach based on what helps and what doesn’t, making the work a collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support possible between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum as you try new strategies.
