EMDR and Motivational Interviewing for online care
EMDR is a method that helps people process distressing memories by pairing guided attention with discussion of the memory. It can help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the distress they cause. Motivational interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation to change. It is often used for issues like substance use, behavior change, and building commitment to recovery.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk through options and make decisions together based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical for everyday life.
