Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Amy often draws from client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client's perspective and creates a supportive environment where people can explore their feelings and values. This approach helps with life transitions, self-esteem, grief, and situations where building trust and understanding is the first step toward change.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is useful for people who want structured tools to change thinking and behavior over time.
