Approaches used in remote sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and patterns that keep problems going.Motivational Interviewing is a short, conversational method that helps people clarify why a change matters and build motivation to act. It is often used for quitting smoking or shifting habits tied to substance use.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and may include goal-setting, brief skill practice, and tracking progress over time.
