About Amy
Amy Brant is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing major life changes, parenting strain, ADHD challenges, and issues around self-esteem and anger.
Amy began her career in 1998 working as a teacher for students with special needs and as a public school guidance counselor.
Background and approach
She later returned to school to earn a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential to focus more on how family history shapes adult behavior. That background still guides her work today. Her style is practical and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps people set straightforward goals. Sessions often mix teaching, skill practice, and talking through painful memories or current problems. Amy uses a few different therapy methods depending on the person.
She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based work to build values-driven action, and attachment-focused ideas to improve connection. She can also teach coping skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming. People who see Amy can expect a calm, respectful approach and clear steps to try between sessions.
She works with adults who want to manage symptoms, repair relationships, or plan a healthier future in everyday terms.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based ideas in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages people to clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication in adult relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts methods based on progress and what the client reports is working or not working, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief support, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
