Background and approach
Amy is licensed as an LPC in Tennessee. In sessions she treats the person, not the label. She favors practical, skill-focused work that people can use between appointments.
Typical sessions include setting small goals, trying techniques for managing anxiety or cravings, and checking what is working in daily life. Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help identify clear, short-term goals and steps toward them.
These approaches are used to address phobias, codependency, communication problems, and substance concerns among other issues. Outside of work she values family life and the outdoors. She grew up in East Tennessee and has lived in Kentucky and Colorado.
That mix of experience informs a down-to-earth style and a focus on real-world progress rather than clinical labels.
How Amy’s approaches work online
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress to produce concrete coping strategies in day-to-day life.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a goal-oriented method that identifies small, practical steps toward change. This approach is useful when someone wants clear targets and quick strategies to test between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their situation, goals, and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts methods as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when you need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share updates, practice skills, or get brief support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling around work, family, or travel easier while keeping therapy focused on actionable steps.
