Online support options
Approaches that guide online therapy
Amy uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the person's concerns are heard first. This approach focuses on the individual's perspective and helps build motivation to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating challenges, and some coping skills for stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as needed rather than sticking to a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging works for short updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life.
