Online session options
Approaches that shape online sessions
Lisa often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate their identity from their problems by re-telling and re-framing personal stories; this can help with relationship patterns, shame, and feeling stuck. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, offering a steady, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals guide the pace and focus of sessions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will explore what feels most useful, trying different techniques and adjusting plans together. The aim is to match methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than pushing a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading expressions. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or people who find typing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
