Amy Schlatter, LPC

Amy Schlatter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and midlife changes. She brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and focuses on practical next steps that fit daily life.

She describes her work as holistic and integrative, paying attention to how thoughts, bodies, and values connect. She draws on her background in education and decades of experience working with children and families to shape clear, manageable strategies for clients. Sessions emphasize awareness, steady pacing, and small changes that add up over time.

Amy uses a mix of approaches influenced by mindfulness, yoga, attachment ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, internal family perspectives, and cognitive-behavioral ideas. This mix lets her tailor tools to things like coping with medical or caregiving stress, relationship communication problems, and patterns such as avoidance or dependency.

Before counseling, she spent over 25 years as a 1st–8th grade educator and more than 10 years training faculty and family systems in Waldorf methods. That background informs her coaching style and her focus on long-term balance rather than quick fixes.

Amy also has study and credentials in holistic nutrition and herbalism and experience with neurofeedback in clinical contexts. She works in Idaho and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy draws on several evidence-based techniques that adapt well to talk therapy and remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward a life that matters to them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with big life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication in relationships. Internal family systems ideas focus on identifying and working with different inner parts to reduce internal conflict and shame.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which approaches feel most useful, and they adjust methods as goals and needs evolve. Amy aims to match tools to each person's priorities and daily rhythms rather than use a single formula.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also support focused work on skills practice, tracking progress between sessions, and consistent follow-up that fits everyday life.
