She practices with unconditional positive regard, aiming to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients can both build practical coping skills and explore personal growth through talk therapy. Her methods are adaptable and tailored to each person’s needs.

Clinically, Amy draws on cognitive-behavioral approaches to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, dialetical behavioral techniques to build emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, motivational interviewing to support change, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness.

Online Approaches That Meet You Where You Are

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach helps people who want a safe space to explore identity, values, and personal growth while receiving empathetic support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can be useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns by teaching concrete strategies to shift thinking and reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance. It is especially helpful for clients who struggle with emotional reactivity, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Amy collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining techniques when helpful and adjusting course in partnership with the client.

Online therapy with Amy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care, fit sessions into busy lives, and maintain continuity when circumstances change.
