About Amy
Before moving into private counseling, Amy spent over 16 years working as a teacher, coach, and school counselor. That experience shapes how she listens and how she explains skills. She uses straightforward teaching, goal-setting, and problem-solving tools to help clients build habits and boundaries that fit their lives.
Amy commonly works with individuals and young adults in their 20s and 30s. Sessions emphasize processing emotions, creating clear goals, and practicing new responses to old patterns. She names Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy among her approaches and draws on psychoeducation in session.
She also notes experience with animal assisted talk therapy as part of her work. Amy stresses respect for every person's dignity and meets people where they are. Her style aims to be warm and practical, with a steady focus on what clients want to change.
If you are grappling with communication problems, caregiver stress, loneliness, or questions about life purpose and money, she offers a collaborative space to talk through next steps and small, realistic goals.
Approaches That Guide Online Work
Amy uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to structure sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own answers, which can help when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what clients want to see change first, which suits people who prefer goal-driven sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels relevant and practical.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as this profile does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It also lets people use interventions and homework tools between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
