Background and approach
Her list of focus areas includes ADHD, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family issues. In sessions she listens first and treats clients as the expert on their own lives. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.
She helps people identify what matters to them and practice small, useful steps between meetings. Amy uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, and skills-based approaches like dialectical behavior strategies. She adapts those methods to fit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed plan.
She offers sessions in English and German and accepts international clients. People connect with her by choosing Start Therapy, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a session based on availability.
Using focused approaches in online therapy
Amy commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change daily routines. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them while learning ways to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Amy listens to each person's goals and life demands, then suggests methods to try. She encourages collaboration so the plan fits the client's needs and can be adjusted over time based on what proves useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for longer conversations and practicing new skills. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, travel, or different schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
