How her approaches are used in online sessions
Amy uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core approaches. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques when emotion regulation or impulsivity are central concerns. DBT methods teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These methods are often useful for anxiety, anger, addiction-related impulses, and communication problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan as progress is made.
