How Spencer works
Spencer draws on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns and build motivation for change. Narrative and solution-focused techniques are also part of his work. Those approaches help people reframe painful stories and focus on strengths and next steps.

If a client has specific needs, he aims to match methods to their preferences and goals. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches guide online sessions
Spencer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build motivation for different choices. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that worsen mood and testing new behaviors to improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find the internal reasons to make lasting changes.He also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite painful stories about themselves and Solution-Focused ideas to set small, practical goals. Together these approaches give space to both understanding why a problem matters and taking steps to move forward. Spencer works collaboratively with clients to choose which approach fits best for their goals and preferences.
