She also brings in motivational interviewing to explore values and increase readiness for change, and narrative therapy to examine and reframe personal stories.Her online sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Clients who prefer an active, skills-based process alongside opportunities to reflect on personal meaning may find this combination fits well.
