Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Amy Montoya, LPC, draws from several well-established therapy methods to support clients working through concerns like depression, trauma and abuse, family conflict, and LGBT-related stressors.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. It creates space for clients to explore what matters most to them at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently. Many people find CBT useful for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood by working on day-to-day coping strategies and more balanced perspectives.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach often used to help people process distressing experiences. It can be a fit for clients who want support working through the impact of trauma in a guided, step-by-step way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Amy works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on goals, needs, and preferences.
Online therapy can make getting support more flexible and accessible, with options that may include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so clients can choose the format that best matches their schedule and comfort level.
