  2. How Trina’s Approach Translates to Online Care

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that focuses on helping a person find their own reasons to change and take small steps. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help clarify values and goals.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

    Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue care from different locations within the same region. The focus stays on practical steps, motivation, and clear goals so therapy can fit into everyday life.
