How Tracy Uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online

Tracy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts that increase stress or depression. CBT here means identifying specific unhelpful thoughts, testing them in daily life, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to shift behaviors like substance use or impulsive choices; it focuses on building motivation and exploring personal reasons for change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set manageable steps and check in on what is working and what needs to change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits often include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping progress steady between appointments. Online work can make it easier to use tools from CBT in real life, keep short check-ins when needed, and support ongoing motivation for change through focused conversations.
