How Brett Uses Motivational Interviewing Online
Brett uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to move toward practical change. This approach focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and weighing options rather than pushing advice. It can be helpful for changes related to addiction, habit shifts, parenting choices, or managing stress.In an online setting he keeps the same collaborative stance. He will work with clients to identify goals, try small experiments, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Figuring out the best approach is a joint process and he will tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting schedules, work hours, and other life demands.
