Counselors’ Experiences Using Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This study investigated six professional counselors’ experiences using two evidence-based practices (EBPs), motivational interviewing (MI) and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), in combination. Data derived from interviews were analyzed using phenomenological procedures. Five themes were identified that suggest a strategic and sequential use of MI and CBT. Implications for counselor practice, advocacy, leadership, and education are discussed, specifically the integration of MI and CBT, as well as the promotion of EBPs. Future research opportunities are outlined.
