How does motivational interviewing work and how can it help?

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, supportive approach that helps people explore mixed feelings about change without pressure or judgment. Rather than telling you what to do, I help you identify your own reasons for change, build confidence in your ability to move forward, and reconnect with the goals and values that matter most to you. This approach can be especially helpful when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, and it can support meaningful progress in areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and life transitions.

I have had the privilege of working in education and counseling psychology for over 20 years in a variety of roles, including practitioner, supervisor, director, and co-chair of a non-profit Perinatal Mental Health Coalition. I continue to practice and to fuel my passion by supporting adults in need of individual therapy to help cope with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and trauma. I also have extensive training and experience supporting couples to improve intimacy, communication and connection. In addition to this, I have a specialization in supporting women dealing with postpartum depression/anxiety, infertility, perinatal loss, and traumatic pregnancy/birth as well as supporting overall maternal wellness and women's health. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness with a person-centered, strengths based approach to support individualized goals.

Sandra Kather Dye

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

Online TherapyAccepting New Clients

Life happens and suddenly something has shifted, you may feel stuck and overwhelmed, and you are not sure how to find your footing again. Change is genuinely hard. My own path included a career change, moving halfway across the world, and starting a family of my own. For eight years I have worked with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and the weight of burnout or dealing with a life that looks different than you planned. I work with people from diverse backgrounds and enjoy this aspect of my work because it allows me to learn from my clients, expand my horizons, and broaden my own perspective in meaningful ways. In our sessions, we work at your pace. I help you examine thoughts that feel like facts, notice patterns that keep you stuck, and build practical skills for when anxiety or stress takes hold. You set the direction. I listen closely, ask questions, and help connect what you are thinking, feeling, and doing, so that change starts to feel possible. If you have been putting off reaching out, that makes sense. Starting therapy takes courage, and you do not need to have everything figured out before the first conversation. Whether something has built slowly over years or caught you off guard, there is room here for all of it. I would be glad to hear what is on your mind.

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

There is a sentiment that was brought to popularity over the last two years: We are all weathering this storm but are not in the same boat. I have spent a lot of time contemplating this concept. One of the interpretations that sticks with me is that we are all human learning to navigate this life but often impacted by different things in different ways. Some people have yachts while others have canoes, some find themselves being tussled in the ocean while others are blessed to gleam across a lake, and some are fortunate to have life jackets while others have felt they had to learn to float alone. No matter each person’s, couple’s, or family’s circumstances we are all trying to navigate through life. Therapy is a safe and private space that I can hold for you where I may aid you in locating a life jacket, developing a crew, patch your boat, and learn to navigate the waters. Whether you find yourself in tousled waters or navigating a new path I would be pleased to work with you. I have enjoyed working with individuals, couples, and families of all different needs for years.

How does motivational interviewing work and how can it help?

Motivational interviewing is a client-centered approach that enhances motivation for change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. It involves collaboration between the client and practitioner, evoking the client's own motivations rather than providing direct advice, and respecting the client's autonomy in decision-making. This method can help clients increase self-awareness, enhance their motivation to change, improve coping skills, and reduce resistance to change. Ultimately, it supports clients in identifying their goals and readiness for positive change in their mental health journey.
