BHow sessions work
How Christine uses motivational and solution-focused methods online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their goals and resolve mixed feelings about change. It focuses on drawing out someone’s own reasons for change and building small steps that feel doable. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for strengths and exceptions to problems. It helps people identify tiny, practical shifts that can quickly improve daily routines and relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss goals, challenges, and preferences and then recommend whether motivational techniques, solution-focused tasks, or a mix will be most useful. That decision is revisited as progress is made so methods stay relevant to real needs.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins during breaks. They also allow shorter focused conversations when that fits a schedule, or camera-off phone calls when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Licensed professionals generally adapt the meeting rhythm and homework to what helps a person use new skills between sessions.
