Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
LaRanda commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach focuses on the meaning of life events and can help with grief, identity questions, and coping with big changes. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and feel heard. That approach helps when someone needs empathy and acceptance before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete steps to try in daily life to reduce anxiety or lift mood.Choosing the right approach is something she does together with each person. She listens to your goals and preferences and suggests methods that fit your situation. Plans can shift over time as needs change, and she checks in regularly to make sure the work feels useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction, while phone sessions can fit a commute or a quick break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to get consistent support despite a busy schedule.
