How Motivational Interviewing and CBT Translate to Online Sessions
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and reduce resistance. This approach can help with substance use, ambivalence about change, and sticking to new habits.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and mood regulation tools that people can apply between sessions.
Jeff will collaborate with each person to decide which approach fits best. He listens to goals and tries small, practical steps to see what helps. Deciding the right method is part of the work together, and techniques may be blended to match needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist to learn which session arrangements are offered and how they can fit into daily routines. -
