About Amy
Amy keeps sessions inviting and interactive. She focuses on practical problem solving and works with clients to set clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practice are central to her approach, and she uses trauma-focused methods when appropriate.
In sessions she collaborates with each person to build a treatment plan that fits their needs and goals. That plan may include skill-building, thought-work, and exercises to manage symptoms between sessions. She aims for straightforward, usable strategies rather than jargon or long lectures.
Amy has five years of clinical experience working primarily with victims of violence, loss, and trauma. She has also supported people through postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, and post-traumatic stress concerns. Her background includes work with issues related to sexual assault and domestic violence.
Therapy with Amy is intended to be a team effort. People who come to her can expect direct guidance, practical tools, and space to talk about painful experiences while planning next steps toward relief and better daily functioning.
How Amy’s approaches work in online therapy
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm. Mindfulness can help with emotion regulation, sleep changes, and coping during difficult memories.
Trauma-focused methods are used when addressing experiences of violence, loss, or abuse. These approaches aim to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories and to build coping tools for daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
