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

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical care

Amy often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and helping people set goals that matter to them. This approach helps with building trust and deciding what to work on first, whether that is anxiety, parenting stress, or relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at thoughts and actions. CBT provides specific exercises and homework to change patterns that keep stress and low mood going. Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool she draws on for managing intense emotions and impulsivity by teaching coping skills and distress tolerance.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Amy will talk with a person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. The process is collaborative and focused on what works in everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and learning new skills, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can be used for quick check-ins or short skill practice. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into work, parenting, or other busy schedules.
