Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Amy Montoya offers online sessions that combine client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. In client-centered work she prioritizes the client’s goals and perspectives, creating space for people to identify what matters most and shape the direction of therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to name and test unhelpful thoughts and to build practical skills for managing mood and stress.When processing traumatic memories or intense emotional responses, she integrates EMDR and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness. EMDR is described to clients as a structured way to work with distressing experiences, while DBT-informed strategies and mindfulness practices help with emotional regulation and moment-to-moment coping. Sessions are collaborative: goals and techniques are chosen together and adjusted over time to fit needs and preferences.
Telehealth options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and situations.
