How Narrative and Skill-Based Work Come Together Online
Dr. Dalton-Trusty uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and rethink their life stories. This approach looks at the ways people describe events and relationships, then helps them notice different meanings and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is also a part of her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking concrete actions even when feelings are hard. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and changes that follow life events.She approaches choosing techniques as a shared process. Together the therapist and client decide whether narrative work, ACT ideas, or other strategies will best fit current goals. That collaborative planning means methods can change over time as needs and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter exchanges, notes, and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when travel or work makes in-person visits hard.
