How narrative and skills work online
Jason uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem stories and see new possibilities; this approach focuses on rewriting personal narratives so troubling patterns have less control. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of his work, which means sessions emphasize listening, respect, and following the person's lead to build confidence and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change behavior and mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals and preferences, and adapts whether someone needs more skills practice, reflective conversation, or story work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper, face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to keep continuity when life is busy.
