Evidence-Based Therapy and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients uncover and test the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to respond differently to stressors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is particularly helpful for people who experience strong emotions, relationship conflicts, or impulsive behaviors, and it emphasizes building concrete skills to manage difficult moments.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and working through reactions that follow traumatic experiences. It supports clients in processing trauma responses and developing coping strategies that reduce distress and improve functioning over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amber collaborates with each person to assess needs, set goals, and determine which evidence-based methods are the best fit for their situation and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor care to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with ongoing text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
