How Karie’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps identify thinking patterns that make stress and anxiety worse and replaces them with more helpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a person’s own reasons for change and strengthening their commitment to take steps forward. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what already works in a person’s life and builds on those moments. Sessions using this approach tend to be practical and short-term, with clear goals and small experiments to try between meetings. Together these methods give a mix of thinking tools, motivation, and concrete actions to try at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a mix of techniques and checking in on what feels most useful over time.
