How Jill Uses Narrative and Skills Online
Jill often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That work helps identify unhelpful patterns and opens up new ways of understanding past events and current choices. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, focusing sessions on what each person finds most important and following their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety or depression and to teach concrete skills for changing mood and behavior.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jill discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as needed. She treats the first few sessions as a time to see what fits, and then they build a plan together that feels manageable and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, note-taking between sessions, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options offer flexibility so people can connect in the way that works best for their schedule and needs.
