Online session options
How narrative and practical work translate online
Mary uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can clarify patterns and open new possibilities for action. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the client’s priorities guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. Mary listens to each person’s goals, tries techniques, and adapts methods based on what feels useful. That collaborative process helps tailor the plan to real life demands and personal preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or follow-ups between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use regularly.
