Online session options

How narrative and practical methods work online

Shamona uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they hold about themselves and their relationships, which can reveal habits they want to change. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to offer listening and empathy that help people feel understood and more able to consider new directions.

These approaches are joined by practical techniques when useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers clear steps to shift thinking and behavior, and solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals that can be tried between sessions. Shamona approaches this as a collaborative process - she will talk with each person about what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the approach over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep momentum between meetings.
