Using Motivational Interviewing with online care
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking reflective questions, and highlighting a person’s existing strengths to build momentum for small steps. This approach can be useful when someone is weighing difficult choices or trying to adjust after a major health event.Allison pairs this collaborative style with practical goal-setting. She helps clients identify values, set manageable goals, and try one small change at a time. Together the client and therapist check what works and adapt the plan as needed, so the process feels gradual and guided.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in her biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to support coping with medical transitions, caregiver strain, aging-related concerns, and grief while helping clients apply strategies in daily life.
