Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It focuses on building psychological flexibility and can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and many day-to-day stressors because it emphasizes concrete tools and gradual practice.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with the brain's natural healing processes to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and associated feelings. It is often used for trauma, post-traumatic stress, and difficult past experiences.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor a treatment plan that may integrate elements from different approaches to best support progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage ongoing commitments, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow therapy to continue during life changes and when in-person visits are not convenient.
