She favors a client-centered style that focuses on what matters most to each person. Amy blends cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior skills to address difficult emotions and unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps. Amy works with clients to build coping strategies, manage mood swings, and reduce panic or intrusive thoughts.
She supports people dealing with grief, addiction patterns, family conflict, and issues connected to parenting and women’s health. Her work emphasizes skill building and practical problem solving. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, changing thought patterns that fuel anxiety, or setting boundaries in strained relationships.
Progress is paced to each person’s needs and goals. Amy invites people to take part in a collaborative process. She aims to create a respectful and encouraging space where clients can practice new habits and handle future setbacks with more confidence.
Approaches that translate to online care
Amy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions so you can practice new responses between sessions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT gives clear tools for handling intense emotions, managing impulsivity, and reducing self-destructive patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt techniques to fit those needs. She aims to build a plan that feels manageable and focused on real-life changes.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats until one feels right.
