How Amy works

These include trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
She also supports people facing family problems, divorce or separation, and the stress of caregiving. Amy pays attention to how past experiences affect current relationships and choices.

Online support options
Using ACT and CBT Online to Build Everyday Skills
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters to them, often useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable parts and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Over time, techniques can be adjusted or combined so the work feels useful and relevant to your daily routines.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you work face to face when you want more interaction. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, lower-intensity options for quick support, skill practice, or when fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
