Online session options

How narrative and action-focused therapies work online

Jennifer often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult stories and notice alternative ways of seeing events. Narrative work can be useful for relationship patterns, self-esteem concerns, and life changes by helping someone reframe their experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches clients to accept uncomfortable feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which techniques might fit best. That way therapy stays aligned with the client’s needs and can change over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy practical. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and allow for ongoing, flexible contact between sessions.
