Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Online sessions with Katherine pair Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help people make sense of their lives and try new behaviors. Narrative Therapy focuses on how a person’s story shapes their experience and looks for alternative storylines that open up choices. Client-Centered work centers the person’s priorities and aims to create a respectful, listening environment. Cognitive Behavioral tools identify unhelpful thinking and offer concrete experiments to change patterns that keep problems going.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katherine works collaboratively to figure out what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may use Narrative ideas to reframe a situation, then add CBT exercises or solution-focused steps to test small changes. The plan evolves with feedback from the person in therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, between-session work, or people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep regular momentum toward goals.
