How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It often involves tracking patterns, practicing new responses, and setting small goals to build confidence and reduce symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to make changes. It emphasizes listening and guiding questions to boost commitment and momentum for goals like reducing substance use or improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before to choose a method together. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility to schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities without promising a specific format.
