Approaches Amy names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT and practical online therapy options

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is about spotting thoughts that feed anxiety or depression, testing those thoughts, and practicing new ways of reacting. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and problems with coping when life changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try strategies that fit their situation. Together they will adjust the plan over time to focus on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, short skill practice, or when scheduling needs are tight. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
