Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the work. Sessions tend to focus on identifying concrete goals, trying small changes, and building skills that reduce distress.
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and identify what’s already working in a person’s life. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, traveling, reading, and family time.
She lives in Tennessee and often draws on everyday experiences to keep therapy practical and relatable.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. It is often useful for panic, phobias, stress, and negative thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical goals and builds on what is already working in someone’s life; it can speed up progress when people want focused change.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Work is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper work, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be a shorter way to review coping skills or get quick support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
