How his approaches translate to online work
Brian commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practice. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that make anxiety or cravings worse, then tests new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what matters to a person and builds motivation for change. Solution-focused work narrows the focus to practical next steps and what a person can try between appointments. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client pick methods based on needs, goals, and what feels workable in everyday life.
