How Spencer’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Spencer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going, then practice small changes that ease symptoms. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own goals and values, helping them find the motivation to make changes and follow through.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Spencer will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually works for the individual.
If you are considering online work with him, confirm the current session options before booking.

Licensed professionals can use different formats to help therapy fit everyday life, and Spencer will discuss what format best meets the person’s needs and schedule.
