Overview
What is motivational interviewing?
Start Healing From Home Online Motivational Interviewing in Austin, TX Motivational interviewing online is a simple and effective way to help people change their lives. At Texas Mental Health Services, we use motivational interviewing to help clients build intrinsic motivation, improve behavior change, and move toward a healthier future. This approach is often used in mental health challenges treatment, mental health care, and health care settings to support real and lasting progress.
If you are in Austin, TX, you can now access motivational interviewing online from home. This makes it easier to get help, learn new motivational interviewing skills, and feel supported during your change process.
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a type of therapy that helps people find their own reasons to change. It was developed by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick. They created a method that focuses on empathy, understanding, and guiding—not forcing—change.
Instead of telling clients what to do, a therapist helps them explore their thoughts and feelings. This creates a deeper understanding of their behavior and builds confidence to change.
Online sessions focus on strong client engagement. Therapists use tools like reflective listening and open ended questions to help clients feel heard and understood.
