Amy Creason, LPC

Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Amy aims to form a practical partnership with each person she meets and focuses on the goals they want to reach.

Amy uses straightforward conversations and skill-building in sessions. She draws from client-centered methods to keep the focus on the person's concerns and from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral techniques to teach tools for thinking differently and handling strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when they fit a person's goals.

People come to Amy for many reasons, including depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and family problems, parenting struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as body image, codependency, communication problems, fertility stress, and first responder concerns. Sessions often mix short-term coping skills with longer work on patterns that cause repeated problems.

Amy emphasizes collaboration and keeps the client's priorities central. She aims to help people set realistic goals, build practical coping strategies, and notice change over time. The focus is on usable steps rather than jargon or vague promises.

To begin, a person follows the site's Start Therapy flow and completes a brief matching questionnaire. Amy then schedules sessions based on her availability and the client’s preferences.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Amy commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when planning online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and clarify goals. CBT concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for impulsivity, anger, or relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest techniques to try. The process is collaborative and designed to adapt as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit into busy days and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins between longer sessions or to schedule meetings around work or caregiving responsibilities.
