About Amy
Amy Seligson trained as a counselor after personal experience showed her how therapy can help. She holds a Masters in Counseling from Wayne State University and now holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. Amy practices from Colorado and brings three years of professional experience to her work.
Amy approaches sessions with a focus on listening first. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name the problem and try different ways to manage it.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and down-to-earth rather than clinical or distant. Parents reading this will find short, direct explanations and achievable steps to try at home. Her background includes time as a special education teacher and roles in counseling that shaped how she supports others.
Those experiences inform how she talks with people about relationships, parenting, stress, anxiety, and coping after traumatic events. Amy also helps people facing issues like addiction, low self-esteem, and phobias. Amy draws from several approaches to match what each person needs.
She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to build calm. She adapts sessions to practical goals such as reducing panic, improving communication, or managing mood. She offers conversations that are straightforward and goal-oriented.
People who want a therapist who listens, suggests small experiments, and focuses on concrete change will likely find her approach easy to follow.
How Amy's approaches work online
Amy uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to each person. That means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's goals, helping people feel heard and guiding practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then replace them with actions that reduce anxiety, depression, or panic. CBT is useful for phobias and stress-related problems because it breaks big fears into manageable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. That approach can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflict get in the way of daily life.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. Over time they will adjust the plan based on what helps most, combining client-centered listening with skills from CBT or DBT when needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep regular momentum between sessions, and use the format that feels most comfortable.
