Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Amy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic ones, which often reduces anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past abuse or traumatic events and supports gradual healing through targeted work and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She encourages questions and adjusts tools over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.
