How Karie's Approaches Work in Online Therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors they lead to. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a person's own reasons to change and strengthening commitment to those goals through guided conversation.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and together decide which method or mix of methods seems most useful. This collaborative process can be revisited as progress is made or needs shift.
