About Amy

She supports people dealing with substance concerns, impulsivity, jealousy, or the aftermath of traumatic events.

Forgiveness and guilt work are part of what she offers when clients bring those issues forward.
Amy adapts treatment based on each person’s situation. That may include setting short-term targets, working on communication skills, or addressing dependent personality patterns that interfere with daily life. She encourages concrete steps and regular check-ins to track progress.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. People who choose to work with Amy follow a process of identifying what matters to them, trying new responses, and adjusting the plan as needed. To begin, clients use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session to set goals together.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Amy describes her methods as evidence-based techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing other ways of thinking. This can help with anxiety, depressive symptoms, and patterns that feed guilt or shame.Skill-based work focuses on building concrete tools such as communication skills, impulse control strategies, and coping steps for cravings or emotional triggers. These techniques are useful for addictions, codependency, and managing strong emotional reactions after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to choose which techniques to try first, adjusting methods based on goals and what feels helpful. She checks in regularly and revises the plan when needed.
