Approaches and Remote Care That Fit Your Life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth. This approach is helpful for people who want a collaborative, strength-based process to explore identity, relationships, and life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is a practical, skills-based approach often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and coping with stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Amie will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques or combinations of approaches that best support progress. This shared decision-making helps ensure the plan fits both the issue at hand and the individual’s style.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from another location. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support while adapting to each person’s timing and communication preferences.
