About Amy
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and trying new ways of handling difficult moments.
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means she and the person in counseling look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. She adapts techniques to fit a person’s daily life and priorities.
She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, family of origin issues, adoption and foster care questions, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. Amy mentions working with people facing isolation, shame, anger, and career or identity questions, including LGBT-related concerns.
Amy aims to make each session practical. She helps clients identify manageable steps, practice new habits, and track small wins. Her work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs and readiness.

How CBT and collaborative care translate to online work
Many of Amy's sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete tools and short exercises to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.The work is collaborative. Amy will help a person choose approaches that fit their goals and daily routine. Together they review what helps, adjust techniques, and set small practice tasks to build momentum.
If you prefer remote care, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to happen from a convenient location. It can also let someone use shorter check-ins or avoid video when that feels better. Ask about format options when you schedule so arrangements match your needs.
