Background and approach
Her background includes work in independent practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health services in Tennessee. Amy earned two master’s degrees from the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky: Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling. She brings about four years of professional counseling experience.
Amy values a collaborative approach. She listens to each person’s story and helps set clear, short-term goals. Sessions use practical tools drawn from evidence-based approaches to address patterns that keep people stuck.

How Amy Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Amy uses CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on short-term goals and practical strategies. It emphasizes small, concrete steps and what already works, which can be especially useful for coping with life changes, relationship problems, and addiction challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Amy talks with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommends ways of working that fit. She adapts techniques from CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy and checks in regularly to see what helps most.
Online formats offer flexible ways to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep consistent work on goals while juggling family, work, and other obligations.
