How CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing Translate to Online Work
CBT teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and mood concerns through skill-building and step-by-step practice.DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communicating in relationships becomes difficult.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation to change. It is commonly used when people are weighing steps related to substance use, lifestyle shifts, or other behavior changes.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what is tried first and how progress is measured.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered.
