Background and approach
She also draws on trauma-focused methods and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions make daily life harder. Her practice supports people dealing with depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and life changes. Amy also addresses specific challenges like abandonment, body image, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
First responder issues and compassion fatigue are additional areas she understands. Sessions are aimed at setting clear, manageable goals and building skills that transfer to everyday routines. Amy encourages using solution-focused strategies when someone wants practical problem solving and faster progress.
She emphasizes collaboration so each plan matches the client’s priorities and pace. Amy continues to expand her skills while keeping therapy straightforward and relatable. She guides people through the early discomfort of starting therapy and stays focused on real steps toward greater stability and meaning.
How therapy approaches work online
Amy commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where someone is coming from so they can set goals at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to relate to others, which can help with impulsivity, anger, and intense mood shifts. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session feel and visual connection. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can work well for quick check-ins, brief problem solving, or when someone prefers written exchanges. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and fit it into daily life.
