Approaches Aimee names

Online support

How emotion-focused and skills-based approaches work online

Aimee commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and make sense of strong feelings and the patterns that keep them stuck. EFT-style work focuses on moments of emotion in the room and helps people shift how they relate to those feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and building distress tolerance. CBT helps with worry and low mood, while DBT skills are useful for emotional regulation and coping during crises.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, then adjust as needed based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use body language and facial cues; phone can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while still working on emotion awareness and practical skills.
