Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Kemiesha uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps identify unhelpful narratives and opens space for new ways of seeing problems and strengths. It can be useful for relationship concerns, family patterns, identity questions, and life purpose.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to spot and shift thoughts and actions that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into small parts and focuses on concrete changes people can try between sessions. Together, these approaches let clients both rethink their story and practice new behaviors in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision evolves as therapy progresses and can include a mix of narrative reflection, goal setting, and skills practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between sessions.
