Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what matters most to them at their own pace. It can be especially helpful for people who want to feel understood while building clarity and confidence in their next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It often supports clients who want structured tools for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that feel hard to break.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance with skills practice, helping clients strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for those who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or conflict and want steadier ways to cope.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy Montoya works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the plan over time to better fit their needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, whether clients prefer face-to-face conversation or the convenience of written check-ins between sessions.
