Online session options
How Lydia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Many of her methods focus on telling and reworking personal stories. Narrative Therapy helps people put their struggles into context, highlight strengths, and find new ways to describe problems. This can help with identity questions, life purpose, and family of origin issues.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people move toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and builds a trusting therapeutic relationship through empathy and active listening.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. Lydia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deep conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing skill work, or shorter sessions between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other obligations.
