Background and approach
That often means setting small, practical goals and trying new ways to handle stressful situations. He offers coaching-style guidance when clients want clear steps and feedback. Many sessions look at patterns that keep problems active, then test simple changes to see what helps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques may be used to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck about making a change. Dr.
Seavy also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify strengths and quick, workable strategies. The emphasis is on what works now rather than long searches for causes. This keeps sessions practical and action-oriented for people juggling busy lives.
Over his 39 years of practice, he has supported people through grief, trauma, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions aim to build coping skills, reduce harmful patterns, and help clients return to daily life with more confidence. He practices in Montana and conducts sessions in English.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their needs.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Seavy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online sessions. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation toward clear goals.Finding the right fit is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, pace, and comfort level. Clients and the therapist revisit methods as progress is made so care stays practical and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is helpful for a conversation that mirrors in-person work, while phone sessions can use less bandwidth and fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging allows brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life and responsibilities.
