CBT and Motivational Strategies for Online Care

Jamie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, or avoidance. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore what matters to the client and to strengthen their motivation for change. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jamie discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as needed. She aims to match practical tools to the client’s situation so progress feels achievable and relevant.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and doing exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick questions, homework check-ins, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
