About Amy

Amy McKinney is a clinical psychologist who helps people facing anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and related concerns. She works with issues like sleep problems, addictions, mood disorders, and struggles with self-esteem and life changes. Amy draws on ten years of experience to support practical shifts people can use every day.

She begins by listening to what matters most and helping people see their situation from a new angle. That new perspective often makes choices feel clearer and reduces overwhelming thoughts.

Background and approach

Amy focuses on building skills that people can test between sessions, not just talk about in the office. Her approach combines evidence-based methods and a warm, straightforward style. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what helps each person move forward.

She uses techniques that help with coping, emotion regulation, and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Amy's background includes work with military populations early in her career, which shaped her calm, practical way of working with trauma and stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship challenges, parenting strain, and career transitions.

Her aim is to help people find more confidence, ease, and clearer direction in their daily lives. Amy holds the credential WY Psychologist 607, indicating licensure in Wyoming. She offers therapy in English and provides several session formats to fit different needs.

If someone prefers straightforward, skills-based help and an encouraging guide, she may be a good fit.

How Amy’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. It often helps with anxiety, avoidance, and making life changes by practicing actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Both approaches aim to give tools people can use between sessions.

Amy prefers to figure out which approach fits each person through conversation and trial. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust methods as needs and preferences become clearer. Finding the right mix of strategies is part of the work and the therapist and client decide together what to try first.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time permit. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter or less bandwidth-heavy check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel while maintaining consistent momentum.
