Online session options
Approaches that translate to online care
Many of Tammara's methods adapt well to remote sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people notice and change the stories they tell about themselves, which can be done through guided conversation and written reflections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match personal values, and it often uses short exercises and at-home practice that fit remote formats. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and uses conversations to increase awareness and new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they tailor methods and homework to fit the person's life and goals rather than applying a single fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes regular work easier to keep up. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier when video isn't needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins, quick reflections, or ways to practice new skills between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
