How Edi’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and changing behaviors that maintain stress.

Motivational Interviewing centers on building a person’s own motivation to change. It involves exploring ambivalence and finding personal reasons to move toward healthier habits, which can help with addictions or smoking and vaping cessation.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their goals and preferences. This helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
