Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Joanne directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Joanne uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice and reframe the stories they live by. This approach looks at the roles a person takes in their life story and opens space to rewrite unhelpful narratives, which can ease stress and relationship patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s experience and relies on listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she brings, focusing on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines elements from different approaches and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or being on camera is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in quickly between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care while adapting to work, family, and travel schedules.
