Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Dr. Monroe often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. Narrative work looks at the impact of life events and helps people separate who they are from the problems they face, which can be useful for trauma, shame, and identity concerns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, where the therapist follows each person's pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thoughts and habits that keep problems going. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing unhelpful behaviors.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they assess what helps most and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to a fixed method.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversation and reading facial cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging can be easier for short updates, journaling-style reflections, or when someone wants to work without being on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
