Amy Roth

Amy Roth is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in South Dakota. She works with people age 15 and up and helps with stress, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and life changes. She also supports concerns related to identity and relationships, including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria.

Amy has more than 15 years of counseling experience after earning a Master’s in Counseling and Human Resource Development from South Dakota State University in 2007. She draws on a mix of methods rather than one fixed approach. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and what that person needs right now.

In practice she pays attention to attachment and past relationships that shape current patterns. She uses skills-based strategies when helpful, and she brings mindfulness and emotional regulation tools into sessions for managing strong feelings. Therapy is tailored around goals such as reducing panic, improving communication, or managing mood swings.

Amy aims to be adaptable and meet clients where they are. She considers each person's history, current struggles, and strengths when shaping a plan. The work often combines understanding past wounds with learning practical skills for daily life.

People often come for help with grief, parenting stress, identity questions, or burnout from caregiving. Amy structures sessions so clients leave with clear steps they can try between meetings and check progress together over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, reconnect with needs, and try new ways of relating in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding from the client's point of view. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name goals and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online work often includes brief exercises and between-session practice to track progress and build skills for anxiety, panic, or mood problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed so the work stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking. When arranging online care, consider practical benefits such as fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is low. These choices help therapy fit into everyday life without assuming a specific format in advance.
