Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Jacqueline uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and revise the stories that shape their lives. This approach looks at how events have been described and opens space for alternative, more helpful meanings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, anger, and stress.Finding the right mix of methods is a shared process. The therapist talks with each person about goals and preferences, then suggests approaches to try. Over time the work is adjusted based on what is helpful and what a person wants to change.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Messaging and live chat offer ongoing support between sessions and let people check in without scheduling a full appointment.
These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care, try different formats, and fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to choose the formats that match their needs and daily life.
