Approaches Emily Uses and how they work online
Emily commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as part of her online work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going and testing small changes to shift how people feel and act. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build momentum for change with short, achievable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a client's goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made or priorities shift.
