How motivational and evidence-based approaches translate online
Corey draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons and readiness for change, using open questions and reflective listening to build motivation. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the way he listens and responds, keeping the person’s goals and values central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Corey works with each person to try methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. He adjusts pacing and techniques as progress and preferences become clearer, so the plan changes with the person rather than expecting a single technique to fix everything.
