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 Stephanie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and values-based methods work online
Stephanie often combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people change the stories that keep them stuck and to clarify what matters most. Narrative work looks at the narratives people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories so they create more options for action. ACT focuses on values and small actions you can take even when emotions are hard, which helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when intimacy, trust, or caregiving stress show up in daily life. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together; the therapist will explore your goals and preferences and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits your situation.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels clearer than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or a workday break while keeping focus on real, manageable change.
