Online support options
Online approaches that help you manage feelings and behavior
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems active. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.She also makes use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on skill-building, trauma-focused work, mindfulness practice, or brief solution-focused steps.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for ongoing support between sessions or for those who prefer writing over speaking.
