Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Therapist
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support to help build self-esteem and coping skills; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, choice, and purpose, assisting people facing life transitions, midlife questions, or feelings of isolation. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps strengthen motivation for change and is particularly useful for substance use, impulsivity, and ambivalence about recovery.
Amy collaborates with each client to determine which approaches fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is treated as a shared process - she will adapt strategies over time to match what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy with Amy is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life or location changes create barriers to in-person visits.
