About Amy
Amy Seligson is a licensed professional counselor with three years of clinical experience. She chose this path after seeing how counseling helped her as a child during her parents' separation. That early experience shaped her goal to offer steady support when life feels uncertain.
She earned a Master in Counseling from Wayne State University and has worked in roles that include special education teacher and counselor. Those positions gave her hands-on experience with kids, teens, and parents and taught her to explain things plainly and patiently.
Background and approach
She brings that same straightforward approach to sessions. Amy blends several practical methods to meet real problems. She uses client-centered listening to learn what matters most to each person.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are used when stress, emotion regulation, or trauma responses get in the way of daily life. Her focus includes relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Additional attention is given to codependency, grief from separation or divorce, domestic violence, and issues like guilt, shame, and loneliness. Amy aims to create clear goals families and individuals can work toward. She favors short, practical steps that fit into busy schedules.
Sessions are an opportunity to talk through what’s hard and practice new ways of coping that feel achievable.
How Amy’s Approaches Work Online
Amy commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and needs change. This is a team effort where goals are set and reviewed over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attendance easier. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
