Therapeutic Approaches and Online Addiction Care
Kelly Devine uses several evidence-informed approaches to support people working through substance use and related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress and substance use - it is practical and skill-oriented, and often used for cravings, mood changes, and coping strategies. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental method that helps people explore their readiness for change and strengthen internal motivation - it is especially useful when ambivalence about change is present. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early and current relationships influence emotions and behavior, helping people address relational wounds that can contribute to substance use.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Kelly approaches that choice collaboratively. She will help assess a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional options such as live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access support between synchronous appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or geographic constraints, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
