Therapeutic approaches and online options
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core ways to help people. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral steps; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and building on a person’s strengths to guide change.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support calm. Together these approaches give options: skills to change behavior, support to feel understood, and tools to manage strong emotions. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands rather than applying a single method alone.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quick check-in when schedules are tight. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, goal tracking, or those who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
