How these approaches can work online

Hermine practices client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing in ways that translate well to remote conversations. Client-centered therapy means the conversation stays focused on the person’s priorities, with the therapist reflecting back concerns and choices. This helps people who need a listening space and want to find their own answers. Motivational interviewing is practical and goal-oriented; it helps when someone feels stuck or unmotivated and wants to build momentum for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hermine will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will recommend methods that fit those aims. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when issues arise. It also lets people try mindfulness exercises and motivational conversations from a familiar environment, which can help generalize new skills into daily life.
