How Carey Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Carey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It helps people break problems into manageable steps and practice new skills between sessions.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people who feel unsure about change. This approach centers on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building readiness without pressure. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about their lives and to find alternative, more helpful ways to understand difficult experiences.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carey will listen to a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest strategies together. That collaboration helps tailor what happens in sessions to the individual’s needs.
