Online session options
How narrative and practical therapies work online
Vicki commonly combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to address difficult patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by rewriting the story they tell about an issue, which can help with grief, trauma, or relationship concerns. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and can lead the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist shape sessions so methods fit the person’s needs rather than applying one fixed model.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for different situations. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or short coaching-type support. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
