04Online support
How these approaches fit into online therapy
Amy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward a meaningful life despite hard thoughts or feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivational blocks.She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns, codependency, and repeated relationship struggles.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and try them in ways that fit the person’s pace and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let someone communicate in writing, use shorter check-ins, or fit sessions into a busy day. These options help people keep consistent contact and move forward without added travel time.
