This approach helps people set their own priorities and feel understood while deciding next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Terence uses CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to design small experiments that change behavior and mood.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method for people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. It helps clarify goals and increase personal motivation to try new approaches.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Terence will help clients choose which methods to try based on their goals, life situation, and what feels most workable. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting people meet from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these methods to focus on skills, motivation, and everyday problem solving without promising a specific outcome.
