Background and approach

Tiffany uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

How Tiffany’s Approaches Work Online

Tiffany often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify what matters to them and find motivation to change.

She frames these methods around a client-centered way of working, which means the person’s goals lead the process. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so it fits needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use body language and see facial cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts without scheduling a call and can support ongoing work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
