BHow sessions work
How Emily applies approaches in online sessions
Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or repairing relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means reviewing what has helped before, trying techniques together, and adjusting the plan based on what feels most useful.
