Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How narrative and skills-based therapy work online
Jocelyn blends Narrative Therapy with cognitive and behavioral techniques to help people reshape the stories they tell about themselves and solve day-to-day problems. Narrative Therapy focuses on the meanings and patterns in a person’s life story, helping them separate from limiting narratives and notice alternative possibilities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical ways to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jocelyn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts the mix of narrative work and skills training to match current needs so sessions stay relevant and doable.
Online formats offer flexibility for different rhythms and needs. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone needs shorter, written exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
