Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Amy Appino integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from licensed professionals without the need to travel to an office.
