She encourages the courageous step of reaching out and partners with clients to clarify goals, build coping skills, and navigate change at a pace that fits each person.

Applying CBT and Narrative Therapy Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-world evidence to reduce distress and change behavior; it can be useful for addressing anxiety, stress, social fears, and workplace challenges. Narrative Therapy helps people examine and re-author the stories they tell about themselves, highlighting strengths and alternative perspectives that can support recovery from grief, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and daily realities and will adjust methods as needed so that interventions feel relevant and manageable. Clients and therapist together determine which strategies or narratives to focus on and how to pace the work.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in therapy from locations that fit their schedules. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and for those juggling work, caregiving, or health conditions, while preserving the collaborative, skills-focused nature of CBT and the exploratory stance of Narrative Therapy.
