She builds a collaborative relationship with each person who comes to therapy and focuses on goals they want to reach.

Amy says therapy is a partnership from the first conversation onward. She brings steady, nonjudgmental support while helping people learn new habits and make changes that matter. Sessions are geared toward what each person needs next, whether that means short-term skills coaching or longer work on deeper patterns.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depression. CBT often includes concrete exercises and practice between meetings to build new habits.She also applies dialectical behavior therapy strategies when emotional regulation and impulsivity are concerns. DBT skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help during times of crisis or ongoing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods and goals fit your situation. Together you'll test approaches, adjust as needed, and choose what feels most useful for daily life.
