Client-Centered and Motivational Approaches for Online Care
Lyn Kirby commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, empathetic space where people can explore their feelings and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs support to clarify values, improve self-esteem, or work through relationship and family concerns. She also uses motivational interviewing, a collaborative conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change and build internal motivation, which is often helpful for addictive behaviors and ambivalence about change.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and usually happens collaboratively. Lyn works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adapts methods so the work fits each person’s situation and pace. That pairing of client and approach is reassessed as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how and when people connect with registered professionals, allowing consistent progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
