Therapeutic approaches and online care
Nakie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small, manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, low mood, addictive behaviors, and eating concerns. Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to help people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach can support work on self-esteem, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as progress and preferences become clear. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adapted to what helps you most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, ask questions between sessions, or check in on difficult days, making therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
