Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amber Clay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Through practical exercises and skill-building, CBT can be useful for addressing anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. These tools are helpful for clients who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship challenges.

Mindfulness therapy is another element of her work, offering straightforward practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques can support coping with stress and improving self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amber collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the plan evolves with progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access care from home, during breaks, or while managing busy schedules. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to integrate therapy into everyday life.
