Online session options
Approach to Narrative and Attachment Work Online
Amy uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their behavior. This approach focuses on identifying themes in life events and separating a person from the problems they face. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns, and life transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to name common relational styles and how those early patterns affect current relationships. That work helps people notice how they connect, how they pull away, and how to try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to test small changes and build practical ways to respond differently in everyday situations.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick updates, reflections between sessions, or for people who prefer typed communication. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on meaningful change.
