04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Amy frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work during online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on testing small changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening closely to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their goals.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed. DBT techniques teach practical coping skills for intense emotions and improve communication in stressful moments. Together these approaches help with anxiety, mood symptoms, relationship conflict, and trauma-related reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Amy collaborates with each person to decide what fits best. She reviews needs, goals, and preferences openly and adjusts methods over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, coping check-ins, or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
