Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he 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 Todd directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and values work in online therapy
Therapy can use Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and the situations that trouble them. This approach looks for alternative meanings and small shifts in perspective that reduce shame and open new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, even when anxiety or low mood is present.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adapt methods so sessions match the individual's needs rather than forcing a single plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when that fits a busy schedule.
These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family obligations, or travel. The therapist will help pick formats that fit a person’s routine and therapeutic goals, and will adjust the mix as needs change.
