Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Amy uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s goals and experiences at the core of the work. This approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can identify their priorities and build solutions that fit their lives.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy - known as CBT - to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday reactions.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool Amy employs to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques can support emotional regulation, stress management, and a gentler relationship with difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Amy is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access support from home or work while working with a licensed professional.
