How narrative and practical approaches work online
Dr. Inzerillo combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change how they relate to their problems. Narrative Therapy focuses on telling and reshaping life stories so issues feel less defining. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward valued actions.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and coping. That approach helps people understand recurring relationship habits and try new ways of relating. Choosing an approach is a shared process - the therapist and client explore goals, try methods, and adjust as needed to find the best fit.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and collaborative planning.
