Remote sessions that combine collaboration and narrative work
Shari offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to engage in therapy. She structures online time to encourage open dialogue and shared decision making so the work can be adapted to what matters most to the individual.
Client-centered therapy guides much of the online process, emphasizing a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens and reflects while the client leads the pace and priorities. Motivational interviewing is used to help clarify and support personal motivation for change, offering practical steps for those who want goal-oriented momentum.
Narrative therapy is another common thread, inviting clients to examine and reframe the stories that shape their choices and emotions. Together these approaches suit people seeking an exploratory, respectful partnership and those who prefer a mix of reflective conversation and action-focused planning delivered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
