How evidence-based tools translate to online care
Terrance draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches simple strategies to change those patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful reactions to stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by exploring goals and barriers in a kind, nonjudgmental way; it is useful for increasing readiness and follow-through.Finding the right approach often takes a few conversations. He works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That collaboration means pacing, homework, and tools are adjusted as progress is made and priorities shift.
