Amy Pullen, LMHC

Amy Pullen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana. She has seven years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and major life changes. Amy emphasizes that each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the room.

She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with attention differences, attachment questions, adoption or foster care histories, and the practical strains of blended family life. Amy works with everyday issues such as anger, communication problems, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Sessions center on clear, practical conversation. Amy helps people name the problem, try small changes, and track what helps. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Amy draws on her experience to guide people through coping strategies for stress, impulsivity, hoarding behaviors, and co-occurring conditions. She encourages realistic steps for improving daily routines and relationships. The focus is on useful tools and steady progress.

Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative effort. Amy aims to listen first, identify strengths, and support clients as they set goals and try new approaches. She welcomes conversations about practical next steps for getting started.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Skills-based work teaches specific tools for managing anger, impulsivity, and day-to-day stress so people can try them between sessions.

Trauma-informed methods help people feel safer telling their story and pacing what they work on. These approaches emphasize choice, grounding strategies, and moving at a comfortable speed to reduce overwhelm. Each approach targets concrete problems people bring, such as relationship strain, parenting challenges, or coping with a major life shift like a midlife reassessment.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen, review goals and preferences, and suggest techniques to try. If something does not fit, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and relevant to each person's life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be convenient for people who need flexibility around work, caregiving, or appointments, while still focusing on the same practical skills used in in-person care.
