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 Terriee directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused approaches work online
Terriee uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice and rewrite the stories that shape their reactions. This approach looks at how events get interpreted and gives space to explore different, more helpful meanings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements that work by teaching practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking action toward valued goals. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles because it blends mindfulness with goal-focused steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terriee will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, making changes based on what works in real life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be a shorter, direct check-in when visuals aren’t necessary. Live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins, homework review, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to get consistent support while balancing work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
