How Amy Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people weigh their reasons to change and build commitment when motivation feels unclear.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences to decide which approach to try and adjust as progress is reviewed.
