Therapy approaches and online options
Amy often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice how early relationship patterns show up now. This approach looks at repeated ways of relating and helps people try different responses that feel safer and more connected.She also makes use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and accepting difficult emotions while taking meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and to build new, practical coping skills. These methods are commonly helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people talk face-to-face, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat provide quick check-ins or brief support between meetings. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
