How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Rebecca uses Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered work to help people change the way they relate to their stories and values. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from a problem and retelling life events in ways that open new choices; it can help when old patterns feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then take steps that match their values. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That means some sessions may focus on telling and reframing stories, while others practice mindfulness, values-based actions, or concrete behavior changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth is needed or when a quieter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging are handy for short check-ins, coaching-style support, and tracking progress between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into everyday life.
