How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Victor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which helps with anger, anxiety, and depression. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify goals and find motivation to change habits like substance use or reactive behaviors.He also lists the Gottman Method for relationship and communication work, which concentrates on concrete skills for managing conflict and rebuilding trust. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match the client's goals, experiences, and preferences rather than imposing one fixed approach.
