How these approaches shape online therapy
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that make stress, anxiety, and mood problems worse. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that people can use between sessions to notice progress.She also applies Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build commitment to goals. That approach is useful for addiction concerns, ambivalence about change, and making steady progress on tough problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to decide which methods best match a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as people learn what helps them most.
