Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online
Lee often draws on Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working online. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite unhelpful threads so daily life feels less dominated by old patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and letting the person lead the pace and topics of sessions. CBT identifies specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers hands-on strategies to change them.Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the work fits the person’s life and concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and use screen-based worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, focused check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact, quick coaching, or step-by-step planning without scheduling a longer call. These options make it easier to get regular support around work, caregiving, and other time pressures.
