About Amy
Amy De Nardo-Kaczmarek uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and career concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in South Carolina with two decades of clinical experience. Amy focuses on making sessions straightforward and practical.
She works to create a calm space where people can say what they think and feel without being judged. The first step toward change is often the hardest, and she offers steady support through that moment.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps people build skills for managing strong emotions and improving sleep routines. She also assists with work-related stress and transitions. Conversations are aimed at small, doable changes that add up over time.
Amy has worked with concerns that include caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses panic attacks, mood struggles, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and money worries. Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused.
People leave with clear strategies they can try between sessions and a plan for next steps. Amy accepts clients from outside the U.S. and offers several online session formats to fit different needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at clear, practical changes. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding strategies, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new responses to fear. This helps reduce the intensity and frequency of panic and anxious episodes. Another approach centers on sleep and daily routines - identifying behaviors that interfere with rest, making small routine changes, and developing techniques to improve sleep quality over time. These methods are useful for people with ongoing sleep struggles or stress-related insomnia.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for focused therapy sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
