Supportive
I incorporate supportive therapy into my practice. Supportive therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on reinforcing clients' existing strengths and coping mechanisms while providing emotional and psychological support. My experience with supportive therapy involves creating a safe and trusting environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings. During sessions, I actively listen and validate their experiences, helping them to process emotions and gain insight into their challenges. I provide encouragement and reassurance, assisting clients in building confidence and resilience. Supportive therapy is particularly useful for clients who may be dealing with stress, life transitions, or chronic mental health conditions. By fostering a supportive relationship, I help clients enhance their coping skills and improve their overall mental health, enabling them to navigate life's challenges more effectively.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, directive therapeutic approach that I frequently use in my practice to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence about change. My experience with MI involves engaging clients in a collaborative conversation where I encourage them to articulate their own reasons for change. I use open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to help clients express their thoughts and feelings, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-efficacy. Motivational interviewing is integrated through a non-judgmental and empathetic approach, allowing clients to feel heard and understood. I focus on empowering clients, helping them to overcome ambivalence and take actionable steps towards positive change. This method not only supports clients in making meaningful changes but also strengthens the therapeutic alliance, enhancing overall treatment outcomes.
