CBT can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and many everyday stressors.He also uses motivational interviewing to support change when people feel unsure or stuck. That approach focuses on talking through ambivalence and building motivation for next steps in areas like addiction or behavior change.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needs change.
