How Brittney Uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online

Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It focuses on open questions, reflective listening, and helping someone move through ambivalence about making a change. This approach is useful for addiction concerns, commitment to new routines, and deciding on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Brittney uses CBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and build practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Sessions often include simple exercises to practice between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a team process. Brittney will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together she and the client decide whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix of both makes the most sense and adjust methods over time.
