How John uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
John draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test new ways of thinking to reduce unhelpful reactions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change and increasing readiness for practical steps.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions goal-oriented. That approach concentrates on what is already working and on small, doable changes to move toward clearer priorities. Together these methods help translate talking into short-term plans and skill practice that can be tried between meetings.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist and client review current problems, goals, and preferences and choose methods that fit. Sessions may adjust over time based on what helps most for career direction, coping with transitions, or building self-esteem.
