How Narrative and Practical Approaches Work Online
Marisol uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and their problems, then try new, more helpful stories. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to offer a listening space where people lead the conversation and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when clients want clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, for example with anxiety or stress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize narrative exploration, supportive listening, practical CBT tools, or a combination of these methods as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, and they suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick updates or times when typing is more practical. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
