How narrative and ACT work online
Rhonda often blends Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people untangle their struggles. Narrative therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and helps create different, more helpful narratives for dealing with relationships, identity, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choosing actions that match a person's values to handle anxiety, depression, or chronic stress.The therapist and client work together to find the best mix of approaches. Rhonda views this as a team effort - she listens to goals and preferences, tries methods, and adjusts based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to change unhelpful patterns and test new behaviors in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people read facial expressions and practice new interactions. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection and quick notes between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
