Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Her work draws on narrative therapy, which helps people retell difficult stories in a way that reduces their hold on everyday life. This approach can be useful for people coping with trauma, loss, or long-standing patterns they want to change.She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to see what changes behavior and mood. This method often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and managing ADHD-related routines.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences and adjust strategies as therapy moves forward. The plan evolves from regular check-ins and real-world homework so it fits daily life.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and text messaging supports brief reflections or reminders between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and help maintain momentum between sessions.
