Background and approach

Amy also supports people facing grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. She works with clients on issues such as body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and isolation. Social anxiety and phobia, gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns are part of her practice too.

Sessions are shaped around practical steps and clear goals. Amy aims to help people find small, manageable changes that build into bigger shifts. She balances direct suggestions with time to talk things through.

She can work in English or French and offers a range of online formats. The process begins with a short questionnaire and then scheduling to suit the client. Amy encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to consider a first step towards change.

How Amy adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on practical problem-solving and coping strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves identifying patterns that feed worry and testing small changes to daily routines to interrupt them.

She also draws on approaches that address emotional understanding and self-compassion. These methods help people make sense of difficult feelings such as shame, guilt or grief while building kinder self-talk and steadier emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss options and collaborate on a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or adjusting the pace as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and feel more like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make therapy flexible and accessible for different lives and routines.
