How Jeff Uses Practical Approaches Online

Jeff commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Motivational Interviewing helps someone explore their own reasons for change and build the internal drive to make those changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. The therapist and client decide together which strategies to use and how quickly to move forward.
