How Korey uses CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work online
Korean approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments to test new ways of thinking. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and obsessive thinking.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. It uses reflective questions and gentle planning to build motivation for adjustments like reducing substance use or improving routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and what is already working. Sessions often set brief goals and try quick strategies to produce measurable progress between meetings.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. He will listen to your goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in future sessions.
