She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help with symptoms like worry, low mood, and trouble managing strong emotions.

Her background includes extensive work with substance use issues and a harm-reduction approach that supports safer choices and personal agency. She has training in trauma work that emphasizes healing without reliving the past. More recently, Amy has pursued education related to disordered eating and body image concerns.
Sessions tend to combine skill-building with collaborative problem solving. Amy offers practical strategies for coping with life changes, workplace stress, caregiver strain, and communication problems. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
With eight years of experience as a counselor, Amy focuses on pacing therapy to fit each person’s needs. She encourages clients to take small steps and tracks progress together. To start, she asks people to share what matters most and then shapes a plan to meet those priorities.
Approaches that guide online work
Amy commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting the person where they are, which can help with building trust and clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress reduction.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice present-moment experiences and manage strong emotions. Together these methods are used collaboratively; Amy will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. Figuring out the right mix is part of the process and happens through conversation and small experiments in sessions.
