Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Julie often blends Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people use to make sense of their lives and helps separate problems from identity, which can be useful for depression, trauma, or relationship concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions, which supports self-esteem and coping with life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when helpful to break down unhelpful thought patterns into measurable steps. CBT-style tools can help with anxiety, ADHD-related routines, and managing mood swings by testing new behaviors and tracking what changes.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Clients and therapists work together to shape sessions around real-life needs and day-to-day challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
