How Vince Uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online

Vince often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse. CBT focuses on changing specific thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is useful when motivation feels mixed, such as with addictions, career shifts, or health goals. It centers on listening, clarifying values, and building commitment to small steps.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Vince will work with each person to decide which strategies fit their needs and goals. He adapts methods over time based on what helps most and what the person prefers.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
