Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Amy Flores uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's goals and perspective, creating a collaborative space where strengths are identified and explored. This approach supports self-esteem, family relationships, and navigating life transitions by focusing on what matters most to the client.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and improving daily coping skills.

For clients who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts, Amy integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can help manage strong feelings and improve interactions with others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Amy works collaboratively with clients to choose and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to connect from home or other convenient locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life requires adaptable solutions.
