How Juanita Uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online
Juanita incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and real-world experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress, where shifting day-to-day thinking can ease symptoms.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify what matters most and to build internal motivation for making changes. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people resolve mixed feelings about change, which can support progress with addictions, career shifts, or lifestyle adjustments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Juanita will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and pace. She frames treatment as a team effort and adjusts strategies as needs evolve.
