Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Amy Oxendine
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their values and goals while the therapist supports their autonomy - this approach can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties through structured strategies and skill-building.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often used when addressing addictions, behavior change, or readiness-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of support across different settings. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, supporting consistent engagement and practical convenience.
