How Narrative and ACT translate to online therapy
Robert often uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reframe difficult experiences so those stories become more useful in daily life. Narrative work is especially helpful for trauma, grief, and big life changes because it focuses on meaning and perspective.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. That approach is useful for anxiety, compulsive behaviors, avoidance, and managing mood swings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. During early sessions he will listen to a person's story and discuss which methods feel most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on narrative re-authoring, ACT exercises, or practical cognitive tools based on goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, short coaching, or between-session support. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, travel, or other parts of life while keeping the focus on steady progress and usable skills.
