How sessions work
How Carey’s approaches translate to online work
Carey commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can lead to concrete steps for managing anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving communication.He also draws on narrative therapy ideas, which look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, and on solution-focused techniques that emphasize small, achievable goals. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work together; Carey will help decide which approaches fit a person's goals and daily reality through collaborative discussion.
If you are planning remote sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use methods such as CBT worksheets, motivational interviewing conversations, and narrative exercises without rearranging their whole day. Discuss practical needs in your first appointment so sessions fit your routine and goals.
