Motivational Interviewing is a communication technique that is specifically designed to resolve ambivalence about, and build motivation for behavior change. In other words, motivational interviewing can help us help clients better understand their reasons for and against change. It can help our clients make informed decisions about whether or not to change and to feel more invested in the decision. Motivational Interviewing does not provide clients with solutions or problem solving until they have made the decision to change.
