Therapeutic Methods and Online Support
Amy integrates psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy alongside mindfulness practices to offer a balanced approach. Psychodynamic therapy involves exploring how past experiences and internal patterns shape current feelings and relationships, helping clients increase self-awareness and emotional insight. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change them, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering techniques to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy provides practical benefits for many people - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow greater flexibility around work, family, and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
