How sessions work
How Carey uses therapy approaches online
Carey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as part of his work. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns, testing new responses, and building practical skills for problems like anger, anxiety, or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and resolve mixed feelings about change.He also uses Narrative Therapy ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences and Somatic Therapy techniques to notice how strong emotions show up in the body. These approaches can be combined so sessions address thoughts, behavior, and physical responses to stress and anger.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Carey will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust based on what helps. He focuses on concrete steps and checks progress together so methods stay useful.
