BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Therapy with Tony draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as practical tools for change. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving mixed feelings about change and building a personal plan that fits the client’s values and readiness.Narrative Therapy is also used to rethink how a person’s story is told and to reduce the power of negative self-narratives. That approach can be useful for grief, guilt, and questions of life purpose because it emphasizes alternative meanings rather than only symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tony will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. The aim is practical work that connects to everyday life, not abstract techniques.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, medical appointments, or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief review or plan adjustment is needed, or longer sessions when deeper processing is required.
