Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas shape online care
Margaret often uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and retell the stories that shape their lives. This approach looks at the events and meanings that keep someone stuck, then helps create alternative narratives that open up different choices. It can be useful for relationship patterns, shame, identity questions, and self-esteem work.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to notice how early and close relationships influence current responses. That work helps when people struggle with communication, trust, intimacy, or patterns of reacting under stress. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice too, which means sessions are paced around the client's priorities and goals rather than a fixed agenda.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face while staying at home. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers audio. Live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels more natural. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
