How Robert's methods translate to online therapy
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build small, practical steps toward those goals. It focuses on listening, asking guiding questions, and strengthening a person’s own motivation to act.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people feel heard and work at their own pace while deciding what matters most to address.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then recommend ways of working that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, enable shorter check-ins, or allow phone-only meetings when that is preferable. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises used in CBT, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care to the online setting so practical skills can be practiced between sessions. -
