How specific approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It often involves learning to notice unhelpful thoughts and then choosing behaviors that align with personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to distress and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy partners with each person to try methods and see what fits. Together they weigh what’s helping, what feels doable, and what matches the person’s goals and daily life.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or caregiving. It can also enable quicker practice of skills between meetings and keep momentum when life gets busy. Licensed professionals adapt exercises like mindfulness, ACT values work, and CBT homework so they work in a virtual setting when that format is used.
