Online support options
How Tom’s approaches work in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a short, conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on questions and reflections that reveal a person’s values and strengths and can help with addictions, low motivation, or making life changes.The therapist emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step progress. Online sessions let those conversations happen in ways that fit a person’s day and energy level. Tom will work with each person to choose what feels most useful and to adjust the approach over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face interaction and fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing encouragement, or when a person prefers typing over talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
