How Tony's approaches work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small changes that lead to better mood and less anxiety. It is useful for worries, low mood, and stress reactions.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and strengthens their own reasons to take action. It works well when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tony will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That choice is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a full conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, mood check-ins, and people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
