Narrative and Attachment Approaches for Online Care
Regina often uses Narrative Therapy to help people name the stories that shape their lives and to try out new ways of understanding old problems. This approach can help with identity questions, patterns in relationships, and recurring emotional pain.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds influence present behavior and safety in relationships. Working from attachment can be useful for people who notice repeating patterns in trust, intimacy, or caregiving roles.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Regina works with each person to figure out which combination of narrative, attachment, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, or mindfulness techniques fits their goals and comfort. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what the person wants to try.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people see facial cues and connect in real time, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and use the format that feels most manageable.
