How CBT and Motivational Interviewing shape online sessions
Online work with Nixalys Vega draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to make sessions practical and goal oriented. CBT is used to identify specific unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then test small changes in daily life to see what helps reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying personal goals and strengthening a client’s reasons to try change, which can help when motivation feels mixed.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. They then pick techniques to try and check progress together, adjusting methods as needed based on what is effective for the client.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for practicing exposures, tracking mood between meetings, or holding a focused problem-solving session, and Vega will help determine which format and pace fit a person’s life and goals.
