How recovery-informed and goal-focused methods work online

Randal combines Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and building a working relationship so people feel understood and can explore change. Motivational Interviewing uses guided conversation to build motivation and clarify reasons for change, which is useful for addictions and habit shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
