Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Sheryl directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas fit online care
Sheryl often draws on Narrative therapy and Attachment-Based methods. Narrative therapy helps people map the stories they tell about themselves and find new meanings. It can be useful for grief, identity shifts, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in relationships and how they affect feelings and behavior, which helps when worry, anger, or trust issues get in the way.She approaches these methods with a Client-Centered stance, putting the person’s priorities first and adjusting techniques to match goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to test ideas, notice what helps, and adapt the plan as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, coping skills practice, or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
