How Chaim Uses Motivational Interviewing and ACT Online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation one step at a time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to choose actions that match personal values.
Chaim also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people practice new habits. These methods focus on clear problem-solving, skill building, and gentle feedback so progress fits real life. He treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will discuss what feels most useful for each person.
