How Narrative and Acceptance-Based Work Online
Janet draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps separate a person from the problem and find new, more helpful meanings. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match personal values. Attachment-based ideas guide attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adapt techniques to fit someone’s goals, values, and daily life. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan across sessions to keep progress practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, journaling-style exchanges, or when written processing feels most helpful. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while using the therapist’s narrative and acceptance-based tools.
