How Carey’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Carey commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing-style techniques to help people make changes. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and can be helpful for addiction and stages of readiness.

He also integrates narrative ideas that help people tell and reframe their life stories. Narrative work supports people who want to make sense of past events and move toward different choices. Together these methods give practical tools and room to reflect, and the therapist will work with each person to find the best mix based on goals and comfort level.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time on workdays. The therapist will collaborate with you to select approaches and a session rhythm that suit your needs and daily life.
