How Narrative and Attachment Approaches Work Online

Jeni often uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice and reframe the stories that shape their lives. This approach helps clients separate a problem from who they are and try new ways of living and relating. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and trust, and it can help people shift how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeni takes a collaborative stance and discusses options with each person. Together they pick methods that match the client's goals, needs, and comfort with different techniques so therapy fits real life.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send quick updates, reflect between meetings, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
