Background and approach
Amie combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods to create short-term tools and longer-term shifts in thinking and behavior. She has supported people through end-of-life decisions, hospice and bereavement, and caregiver stress. She also offers help for mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, social anxiety, and addictions.
Amie adapts sessions to each person’s needs and pace. Sessions may include working on practical coping skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or setting small goals that build momentum. Motivational interviewing can be used when people are weighing change or struggling with substance use.
Amie practices in Michigan and offers a compassionate, goal-oriented approach that highlights real steps. She aims to make the work manageable, with clear options for people juggling health, caregiving, or demanding jobs.
How Amie’s Approaches Work Online
Amie commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies in online work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Solution-focused work narrows in on practical next steps and small goals that build momentum for change.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions are collaborative so you choose what feels most useful and realistic for your life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching coping exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let you check in between sessions, do short focused work, or keep therapy manageable around a busy schedule.
