How Trina’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for the client to set goals and decide what matters most, which helps with self-esteem and identity questions.

Motivational Interviewing is about gentle conversation to resolve uncertainty and build motivation. It is useful when someone feels stuck about making changes, like coping strategies for anxiety or life transitions.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose or blend approaches based on needs, goals, and preferences. That way sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online care is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow longer face-to-face conversations, phone calls can work with lower bandwidth, live chat is quick for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep progress consistent.
