In practice this means attending to relational themes and helping identify new ways of relating to self and others while honoring the client as the expert of their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress or anxiety and building practical skills to address them.
Motivational Interviewing supports conversations about change by clarifying values and enhancing intrinsic motivation. Across approaches Tremblay emphasizes collaboration: she partners with clients to set goals and select the communication modes, whether video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, that best support ongoing work.What is Karen Tremblay's experience?
