How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Terrance uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and strengthening a person’s own motivation to act.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and priorities shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In practice, online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for steady check-ins during life transitions. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping momentum between in-person visits and for trying skills in real time. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect so therapy can be arranged to suit work and daily routines.
