Online session options
How narrative and skills-based therapy works online
Many of her sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people separate themselves from difficult stories and rewrite how those stories shape daily life. This method can help with family conflict, grief, and issues like body image by giving space to new perspectives.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. That approach supports building trust and identifying goals at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and practice concrete behavior changes for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Techniques may be mixed and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written reflection when speaking feels hard. These options make therapy more flexible around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities.
