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 Katherine directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused methods work online
Living story work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered listening each have a clear role in online therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and try alternative storylines that reduce blame and increase choice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clarify what matters most and builds small, value-driven steps to move toward those goals. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's priorities, offering unfolding reflection and empathy rather than quick fixes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as the work unfolds, mixing narrative exploration with ACT exercises or CBT/DBT skills when those fit the goals and day-to-day challenges.
Online sessions make this work practical. Video calls let the therapist and client interact in real time for deep conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter, written exchange is more helpful. These options allow flexibility so therapy can fit around work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
