Outside of clinical work she is a single older mom to an energetic toddler and understands how parenting and unexpected life demands can pull people off balance. She offers practical support aimed at helping clients meet goals and move toward a healthier everyday life.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Amy often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a respectful, empathetic relationship. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings like anger, grief, or burnout and to set personal goals.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, negative thinking, and anger by practicing new ways of responding to triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new concerns appear.
