How Carey’s approaches translate to online work
Carey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and make daily routines easier to manage. Motivational Interviewing focuses on the person’s own reasons for change and is useful for addressing addiction, ambivalence, and making practical life changes.He also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach can shift how someone understands past events and their role moving forward, which often helps with parenting stress and relationship difficulties. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when possible, phone calls can be a good fit for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
