How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Amy describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps most. Cognitive approaches look at the thoughts that keep shame and guilt active and teach specific ways to test and change those thoughts. Behavioral strategies focus on small, doable actions that reduce avoidance and rebuild confidence in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal beliefs, including whether to include faith perspectives. She explains options and adjusts the plan as the work progresses.
