Narrative and Practical Therapies for Online Care
Yvette uses Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves, separating the person from the problem so new possibilities emerge. This approach can help with identity questions, feeling stuck, or patterns that repeat in relationships.She also relies on Client-Centered principles that prioritize the person's own goals and strengths, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems because it offers clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as you go. Together you decide which tools and perspectives fit your goals and daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins or short reflections. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
