If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Veronica directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Narrative and Values-Based Care Online
Dr. Martin-Perkins integrates Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can reduce shame and open paths to change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by focusing on values-guided action and learning to live with difficult thoughts without letting them drive behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and communication, which can be useful for addressing attachment issues, codependency, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to test methods and pick what fits their goals, needs, and daily life. That means trying techniques together and adjusting based on what helps most, rather than using a single fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues and face-to-face conversation matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick updates, between-session support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling easier and allow care to fit around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
