Motivational Interviewing (MI): A client-centered approach that enhances motivation and autonomy by exploring ambivalence, fostering self-efficacy, and supporting meaningful change.
Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT): A cognitive-behavioral approach that identifies high-risk situations, builds coping strategies, and empowers individuals to manage triggers.
Professional Counseling vs. Life Coaching
Counseling, conducted by licensed therapists, addresses mental health issues and is often covered by insurance, making it a good choice for those seeking treatment for conditions like anxiety or depression.
In contrast, life coachingfocuses on goal attainment and personal growth, typically not covered by insurance, requiring clients to pay out-of-pocket. Life coaches are not required to hold a professional license.
Choosing between the two depends on your needs: opt for counseling for mental health concerns and life coaching for achieving specific personal or professional goals.
