How Motivational Interviewing and Online Sessions Can Help

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and guiding someone to state their own reasons for making a change. This approach is often helpful for addiction, motivation for treatment, or when someone feels stuck.

In practice, Brett pairs that technique with a client-centered way of working. That means priorities and goals are set together, and steps are chosen to match the person’s life. He will collaborate to find the best combination of conversation and practical tasks that suit the client’s needs.

Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is helpful. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from different locations within the same state, which may help maintain continuity of care during transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Brett will work with each person to see if Motivational Interviewing and his collaborative style feel like a good match, and will adjust the plan based on goals, preferences, and the practicalities of scheduling.
