Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Amy Wilder integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration - it helps people clarify their values and goals while building self-awareness and self-compassion. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or stress.
She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and calm, useful for coping with stress, intrusive thoughts, or emotional reactivity. These approaches can be adapted to work with relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, career transitions, and other concerns common in her practice.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Amy collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limits, and maintain continuity of care across life changes.
