Using CBT and Narrative Work Online
Kimberlyn often combines cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Narrative therapy helps people tell and reshape their life story so painful events feel more understandable and manageable.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling, and ongoing written support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping a steady course of care.
