About Amelia
She uses client-centered methods so people set the pace and goals. She blends cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation. Mindfulness and grounding techniques are part of her work for moments of high distress.
Amelia has worked in correctional mental health and has ten years of clinical experience. That background means she is familiar with crisis situations, risk assessment, and medication education when needed. Her experience includes supporting people with suicidality, self-harm, psychosis, substance use, and personality disorder symptoms.
Her conversational approach focuses on empathy, clear boundaries, and practical steps. She uses motivational interviewing to build rapport and then helps people create actionable plans. Amelia often frames progress as small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes.

How Amelia’s Approaches Fit Online Care
Client-centered therapy is about following the person’s lead and working at their pace. Online conversations and messaging let Amelia respond in a way that matches each person’s goals and timing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and managing mood by practicing clearer thinking and problem-solving exercises.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. It is useful for anger, impulsivity, self-harm urges, and learning steady coping strategies in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amelia will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to use based on their goals, current challenges, and what feels workable in daily life.
Note on session options: the therapist currently provides online chat and messaging only. If you need video or phone visits, please confirm formats before booking. Online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, check in between appointments, and practice skills in real time while staying engaged with everyday routines.
