VirtualMy treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is an approach to counseling that applies to a wide range of conditions and behaviors, such as chronic diseases, substance use, and mental health disorders. I employ this technique to help individuals with depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions examine their emotions and motivations for transformation. In conclusion, I utilize this methodology to assist individuals in ceasing tobacco use by delving into their reluctance to stop and bolstering their motivation.
Psychoeducation
Combining psychotherapy and education, psychoeducation interventions are utilized as a form of therapeutic intervention in my practice. They integrate educational components with a diverse array of supplementary activities, including counseling and supportive interventions. Tailored or standardized psychoeducational interventions may be administered individually or in groups. Providing clients with psychoeducation generally consists of four elements: imparting knowledge regarding their health issue or concern, fostering the development of problem-solving and communication capabilities, and instructing clients in assertiveness.
