Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care
Amy Heim draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work in a practical, down-to-earth way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking values-driven action even when emotions are hard to tolerate - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional responses and closeness, offering a path to improve intimacy, communication, and connection with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by teaching concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and develop healthier habits.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility and easier access to care. These formats allow scheduling that fits busy lives, support continuity when travel or caregiving responsibilities arise, and make it possible to engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor their approach to each person’s situation.
