CBT and Motivational Interviewing for online care

Tracy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thought patterns, feelings, and actions so people can try practical changes and build better routines.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people who feel unsure about change. That approach focuses on exploring values and boosting internal motivation so people can decide on steps that matter to them.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Tracy collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she will adjust techniques based on what helps most.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to get consistent support while balancing other responsibilities.
