How her approaches translate to online therapy
Amaryllis often uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they carry about themselves. That approach looks at how life events and relationships shape personal narratives and supports people in naming new possibilities. Client-Centered Therapy is another element of her work and focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people lead the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, targets patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amaryllis works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the mix of narrative listening, skill-building, and mindfulness depending on what proves helpful in early sessions.
