Approaches Offered Remotely and What They Help With

Dr. Naylor incorporates client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, and narrative therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, creating a respectful space where the therapist supports the client's goals and helps them explore feelings and values - this approach can be useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life changes.

Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and mood symptoms by cultivating attention and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and bodily sensations. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, enabling reframing of difficult experiences and exploration of identity, purpose, and patterns that affect family and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Dr. Naylor works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, drawing from these approaches to create a customized path forward.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter or ongoing conversations can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support from a therapist without travel.
