Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Amy commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past harms affect current relationships and daily functioning, and helps people process painful memories in safer, paced steps.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans as progress unfolds. Together the therapist and client decide which tools and pace feel most useful.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or being on camera isn’t needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people access care from different locations and schedules.
