Online session options
How narrative and attachment approaches work online
Dr. Dang often uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their reactions and choices. This approach looks at how problems become central to a person’s life story and then opens space to discover alternative, more helpful narratives. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to notice how early relationships influence current patterns, especially in stress, relationships, and parenting. That work helps people recognize attachment habits and practice different ways of relating in daily life.He aims to find the right mix of approaches together with each person. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative planning guides whether sessions emphasize storytelling, skill practice, emotion regulation, or relational experiments.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone calls can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or written reflection between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life.
