Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Many clients find Narrative Therapy useful for stepping back from a painful story and seeing other possibilities. Narrative work focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate a person from the problem so new choices can emerge. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes values and small committed actions. It helps when someone wants to act despite difficult thoughts or feelings and aims to increase meaningful behavior over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss what seems most useful, and try approaches that fit your goals and comfort. Adjustments happen along the way so therapy stays practical and relevant to your life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let people share between sessions or use therapy without being on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
