Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is a primary tool he uses to help people explore change and find personal reasons to move forward. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person. Brett listens for strengths and builds on them.
He encourages small, achievable actions and checks in on progress as part of regular sessions. People who prefer direct feedback and a collaborative plan often do well with his approach. He adapts to each person's needs and life situation, balancing empathy with honest guidance.
Brett emphasizes awareness, personal values, and doable next steps. He believes starting therapy takes courage and that vulnerability can open the door to change. Brett works to create a respectful space where people can talk through hard topics, set realistic goals, and track meaningful progress.
Using Motivational Interviewing Online
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation. In simple terms, the therapist listens for what matters to you and guides conversations to strengthen your own reasons for taking steps forward. This approach is useful for addictions, behavior change, and situations where motivation feels stuck.In sessions he keeps things collaborative. He will work with you to test whether Motivational Interviewing fits your needs and goals. If another approach seems more helpful, he will discuss options and agree on a plan together. Finding the right method is a shared process between you and the therapist.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good when visual cues matter, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and chat or text options allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
