   About Price

   Price Cook is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington. He brings three decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, changes in gender or sexual identity, and other life transitions. He focuses on clear, respectful conversations and practical steps clients can use between sessions.

   Over his 30 years in practice, he has worked with people dealing with depression, relationship strain, intimacy concerns, addiction and grief. He also addresses family of origin issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and sexual health questions. His approach is to tailor the dialogue and plan to each person’s situation rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

   Price uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build motivation one step at a time. He also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered therapy to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test more helpful perspectives.

   Sessions emphasize respectful listening and practical strategies clients can try between meetings. He aims to create an environment that is sensitive to LGBT and multicultural concerns and works without judgment. Progress is guided by the client’s goals and paced to what feels manageable.

   Taking the first step can feel hard. Price supports people through that process with steady, straightforward care and a focus on what will help in daily life.

2. How motivational and relational approaches work online

   Price often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and take small steps forward. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and building motivation in ways that fit the person’s values and goals.
   
   He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current behavior. Client-Centered Therapy frames sessions around the person’s priorities, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental support while clients set the pace.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying Motivational Interviewing strategies first, then incorporating CBT or attachment work as clarity increases.
   
   Practical benefits of online therapy should be confirmed before booking, since the biography does not specify session formats. In general, online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and format details with the therapist when you arrange your first appointment to ensure sessions fit your everyday life.
