Therapeutic approaches that guide online work
John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT often includes simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is another approach he uses to help people find their own reasons for change and build the confidence to act on them. This method is conversational and focuses on strengthening motivation rather than giving directives.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
