How his approaches translate online

Carey commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, or stress. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change, which can be useful with addiction, parenting changes, or lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Carey treats this as a collaborative process, checking in about what helps, trying tools in real life between sessions, and adjusting the approach based on your goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Different approaches translate well to remote sessions - CBT is well suited to skill practice and structured homework, while motivational interviewing supports focused goal conversations. Your therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit your day-to-day life and priorities.
