Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Online sessions with Tami often draw on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult stories and see problems in a new light. Narrative approaches are useful for issues like life transitions, low self-esteem, and recurring patterns in relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to provide an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person's goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and build confidence in making changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. These are practical steps people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tami collaborates with each person to tailor methods based on their goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, live chat is fine for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
