How Philip uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing online
Philip uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. In short sessions this means identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them with small experiments, and practicing different responses to lower anxiety or change habits.Motivational Interviewing is used to build motivation when people feel stuck or uncertain. It centers on talking through ambivalence, highlighting personal reasons for change, and setting small, achievable goals to increase momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Philip will review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That process is collaborative and focused on practical steps a person can take between sessions.
