Case Study: Motivational Interviewing in Mobile Addiction Recovery
An evidence-based counselling case study presented by Emocare – Counselling & Life Coaching
Mobile addiction has emerged as a significant behavioural concern impacting emotional health, academic performance, professional productivity, and interpersonal relationships. At Emocare – Counselling & Life Coaching, Motivational Interviewing (MI) is applied as a structured yet empathetic approach to support sustainable recovery.
Understanding Mobile Addiction
Mobile addiction refers to excessive and compulsive smartphone use that interferes with daily life. Clients often experience anxiety, reduced concentration, sleep disturbances, and emotional withdrawal when separated from digital devices.
Why Motivational Interviewing?
Client-Centred Approach
MI respects autonomy and encourages self-driven behavioural change.
Resolving Ambivalence
Clients explore conflicting feelings about reducing mobile usage.
Enhancing Intrinsic Motivation
Focuses on personal values rather than external pressure.
Long-Term Behaviour Change
Builds commitment and relapse-prevention skills.
