Motivational Interviewing and Faith-Informed Online Care

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It is often useful for addressing addictions, substance use, and other situations where building motivation and making gradual behavioral changes are central goals.

Alongside motivational techniques, Janet integrates a faith-informed perspective when clients want to include spiritual values in their work. This approach supports exploration of forgiveness, guilt, grief, and meaning in ways that honor each person’s beliefs and priorities.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people managing health limitations, busy schedules, or geographic constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to offer consistent support, make sessions more accessible, and help clients maintain momentum between in-person visits when needed.
