Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Kelly combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating the person from their problem and finding new meanings, which can help with identity, self-esteem, and relationship patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That might mean trying a few techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting as therapy progresses.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow for quick check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
