How his approaches translate to online care
Carey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions usually involve identifying specific patterns, setting small goals, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce distress and improve daily routines.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are weighing change. That approach focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation in short, structured conversations. Narrative Therapy appears in his work as well, helping people reframe painful events and notice different meanings in their stories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given current needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
