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 Wanetta directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them. Online ACT work often uses short exercises and practical commitments to try between sessions, which can help with mood, stress, or life changes.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. In online sessions the therapist listens for unhelpful storylines and helps clients reframe events so they feel less defined by past problems. This approach can be helpful for issues like shame, identity, and family of origin concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities with each person and then choose methods together. That collaborative discussion guides whether a narrative, ACT, attachment, or cognitive-behavioral focus makes the most sense.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when bandwidth allows; phone calls can be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, shorter sessions, or times when typing fits a schedule better. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or other busy days.
