Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Amy integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients explore their values and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the individual's own goals so people feel heard and understood; it is well suited for navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional adjustment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.She also uses motivational interviewing to help clients find internal motivation for change, especially when facing ambivalence about relationships, career moves, or coping strategies. Throughout the process Amy collaborates with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied lifestyles. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide timely support between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent therapeutic work from different locations and at times that fit daily life, helping clients maintain momentum toward their goals.
