Over a 20-year career Amy has helped people manage mood disorders, panic and phobias, obsessive-compulsive concerns, process addictions like gambling or exercise, and issues tied to divorce and family problems. She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, impulsivity, and personality disorder symptoms.

Online support options
Online approaches that teach skills and build resilience
Amy uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety. CBT often involves short exercises, simple homework, and clear strategies to reduce symptoms.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques that focus on managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and learning coping skills. DBT skills are useful for impulsivity, anger, and stabilizing mood shifts.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Amy collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and focuses on practical tools people can use between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a calmer voice check-in is preferred. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and flexible communication during busy weeks.
