About Amy

Dr. Amy Wytiaz is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 29962) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, grief, sleep struggles, parenting strain, and anger. She also addresses areas like self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes substantial work with addiction and family-related issues. She has treated people who have struggled with substance use and those affected by a loved one’s addiction. Her experience also includes helping clients manage trauma and attachment difficulties and working through complex mood concerns such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are applied for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas are woven in when appropriate.

She offers couples work using emotionally focused techniques alongside other methods to address relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. Sessions also focus on communication problems, codependency, and commitment issues when those topics arise.

Sessions are conducted in English in California. Costs vary with location and operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, interested people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Dr. Wytiaz draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that fuel anger and try concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions often focus on short experiments, problem-solving, and practical steps to test new responses.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach breathing, grounding, and checking thoughts so intense feelings feel more manageable in the moment. Attachment-Based Therapy ideas inform work on relationship patterns and responses to closeness and rejection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context and then recommend which methods to prioritize. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
