How online sessions are structured
Amy blends several therapeutic approaches in remote sessions to meet a range of needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills. Acceptance and commitment therapy offers tools for clarifying personal values and taking intentional action even when difficult feelings are present. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is used for trauma-focused work that involves processing distressing memories in a structured way.She typically adapts these methods to a collaborative format in which the person and therapist set goals together and choose techniques that fit the presenting concerns. That might mean skill-building and thought work in some weeks and deeper trauma processing in others. Motivational interviewing and client-centered principles support a respectful, nonjudgmental alliance throughout this process.
Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options allow the treatment approach to be matched to the client’s preference for communication and the therapeutic tasks they want to address.
