How these approaches work online and what to expect
Jennifer often combines Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address personal stories and daily thinking patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories and see new possibilities, which can be useful for family issues, identity concerns, and life purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, and change unhelpful behavior.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try out methods, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. This collaborative process means strategies are matched to a person’s needs and preferences rather than imposed from the start.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text can fit into a lunch break or provide ongoing support between appointments. These options make therapy easier to fit into a busy life and let people choose the format that feels most practical for them.
