Online session options
How narrative, attachment, and CBT translate online
Nicole commonly blends Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reorganize their life story so they can see different possibilities and meanings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, useful for intimacy and trust issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something does not feel helpful, she will adjust the plan or try different techniques until the approach feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have brief reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum when life gets hectic.
