How narrative and practical approaches work online
Natasha uses Narrative Therapy to help people see how the stories they tell about themselves affect choices and feelings; this approach helps when family history, identity, or past trauma shapes current problems. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the person's priorities, offering a listening space where goals come from the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit too, offering concrete strategies to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natasha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods that fit. That means sessions can mix narrative exploration, supportive listening, and CBT skill work based on what helps you make progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for full sessions that mirror in-person meetings, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat gives a way to check in between calls, and messaging supports brief updates or homework check-ins. These options let people keep continuity with therapy while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
