  2. How Motivational Interviewing and skills work in online therapy

    Rochester often blends Motivational Interviewing with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support change. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people identify their own reasons to change and build motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

    Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions focus on identifying priorities and trying a few techniques to see what feels most helpful.

    Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also enables sessions from familiar surroundings and lets people use tools like worksheets, recorded practices, or screen-shared materials during the meeting. Rochester will discuss how to structure sessions so they work with daily routines and with the goals you set together.
