Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Willie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people explore and strengthen their own motivation for change - it can be useful for moving through ambivalence around habits, career decisions, or relationship choices. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate the person from the problem so new perspectives and possibilities can emerge.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Willie works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These modalities make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats for communication, and access licensed professionals from different locations when scheduling allows.
