How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Blain uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change by asking open questions and reflecting what matters to them. This approach often helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a next step. Client-Centered Therapy is a core part of her work and means she listens closely, accepts a person’s experience, and follows their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors or experiments to test what works.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods best match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or circumstances shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice, problem solving, and motivational conversations effectively through remote appointments when those formats are arranged. -
