How these approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. It is practical and often includes small tasks between sessions to test changes.Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. By reworking those stories, people can separate problems from identity and open new possibilities for action and healing.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend a mix of methods to try. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and have longer conversations, phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, chat and messaging work for quick check-ins or when typing is easier. These options make it simpler to keep consistent work on grief, coping with illness, caregiving stress, relationship issues, and other concerns, even when schedules are busy.
