About Amy
Dr. Amy Wytiaz is a California Psychologist (CA Psychologist 29962) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and attachment concerns, and codependency among other areas. She also brings experience addressing grief, sleep issues, parenting strain, and career stress.
Her practice focuses on practical talk and skills. She helps people clarify past and current clinical conditions and understands how addictions affect family members. She offers couples work that draws on emotion-focused ideas alongside other approaches to improve how partners relate.
Dr. Wytiaz uses a mix of behavioral and relational methods. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and make values-based choices.
Her background includes time working in VA settings with veterans and several years treating adolescents and adults with addictions. This gives her experience with trauma, personality-related problems, and complex co-occurring issues such as bipolar disorder and substance use.
In sessions she will work collaboratively to build clarity about symptoms and patterns. That means setting practical goals, developing skills for managing mood and urges, and practicing new ways of communicating. People who struggle to say no or who keep putting others first may find a focus on boundaries and attachment patterns in her work.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used during online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can help when someone is avoiding feelings, struggling with codependent patterns, or wants clearer direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits that keep someone tied to unhealthy relationship patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect how people connect and set boundaries. This approach is often used for intimacy issues, codependency, and communication problems between partners or family members.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first based on the person's goals and preferences. Treatment can shift over time to include skills training, values work, or relationship-focused sessions as needed.
Confirm session formats and scheduling options before booking so they match day-to-day needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time.
