Online therapy options and clinical approaches
Amy offers remote sessions that use a blend of Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to address presenting concerns. Mindfulness Therapy is described in accessible terms as work to build awareness of thoughts and sensations so that daily stress and anxiety can be observed without immediate reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore a person’s readiness to change and to support decision-making when facing addiction or other shifts.
Narrative Therapy is applied to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and to identify alternative meanings that align with their values. These methods are framed collaboratively; the person and Amy work together to choose which approach or combination fits current goals. Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing selection of the communication mode that feels most practical and comfortable for the individual.
Session content and the pace of work are shaped by the person’s aims and preferences, with clinical focus areas including stress, substance use, grief, first responder issues, and young adult challenges.
