How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Randee combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful stories and build values-driven action. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people carry and helps separate the person from the problem so they can retell their experiences with more agency. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match what matters most to the client. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. That viewpoint is useful when someone wants to change how they connect with others or respond under stress. Deciding which approaches to emphasize is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to match methods to goals and preferences. Online therapy offers flexible ways to keep that collaboration going. Video calls let most of the conversational work happen face-to-face. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework prompts, or brief coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular progress without traveling.Common questions about this listing
