Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Amie integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace and goals of their work. This approach is useful for people seeking grounding, validation, and collaborative goal setting.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with life stressors.
