Online session options

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Dr. Cornella uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and revise the stories they tell about themselves. This work helps when old narratives about failure, shame, or stuck roles get in the way of change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences and adjusts the plan over time. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals, and regular check-ins so the client and therapist can see what’s working and what needs changing.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone calls can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing accountability. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel schedules.
