How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that hurt relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and teaches ways to build more stable interactions.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can help when strong emotions, anger, or relationship conflicts make it hard to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting over time so sessions feel useful and practical.
