How CBT, ACT and Motivational Interviewing work online
Scott uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that drive stress and anxiety. CBT involves testing small behavior changes and checking whether those changes reduce distress or improve daily functioning.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help when avoidance or rigid control of emotions prevents meaningful activity.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to strengthen motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and personal reasons to act. It pairs well with CBT and ACT when people want to move from thinking about change to doing it.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott will help identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The process is collaborative and based on what a person wants to accomplish.
