How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Terrance works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building the client’s own reasons for change and strengthening commitment to small, manageable steps.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit those aims. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most and what feels doable.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible timing around work or caregiving. Some approaches also adapt well to remote work because they rely on step-by-step exercises and homework that can be reviewed together during a session.
