How narrative and practical approaches work online
Margie combines Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered care, and Cognitive Behavioral techniques in a way that fits remote work. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories that shape their choices and then rewrite those stories so they feel less stuck. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and experience at the center, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to produce different results.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods that seem promising, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. That means sessions may include reflection, guided questions, practical exercises, or short skill practices depending on what is useful.
Online formats make attending sessions easier for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options add flexibility so people can fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy schedules.
