Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Amber often draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR when working with trauma and related concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective and goals guide the work - it helps when someone needs empathetic listening and personal validation. CBT is a practical approach that examines patterns of thoughts and behaviors, teaching skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with stress. EMDR is a structured, trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for trauma and abuse.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amber works with clients to identify what fits their needs, preferences, and treatment goals, and may combine methods to create a tailored plan. Licensed professionals and therapists frequently adapt techniques over time as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, access care from home, and maintain continuity of treatment during life transitions, while allowing therapists to use many of the same tools they would in person.
