Approaches that translate well to online work
Carey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into clear, manageable steps.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people finding their own reasons to change. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step. Narrative Therapy is another tool Carey draws on, which focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories can be reshaped to support better outcomes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carey will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel, or allow shorter, focused check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT, motivational, and narrative techniques in remote sessions to work toward clear, practical goals.
