She has 11 years of experience and offers straightforward support for concerns like self-esteem, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Conversations focus on skills you can use between sessions to reduce distress and handle daily pressures.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Vermont, and she holds the LPC and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential (LCMHC). Amy combines approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and acceptance-based work to match what an individual needs. Typical sessions may include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, learning grounding and emotion-regulation practices, and trying small behavior changes.
She also uses motivational interviewing techniques when substance use or motivation is a concern. Amy aims to make therapy fit into life. She supports people dealing with career stress, chronic pain or illness, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and complex personality or relational difficulties.
Her goal is to help people build resilience, clearer communication, and more satisfying day-to-day coping. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT often involves setting small experiments, tracking patterns, and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings appear. ACT can be useful for people coping with chronic pain, lingering grief, or ongoing worry where avoidance has been helpful but limiting.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods when something isn’t working. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, written exchanges when that fits a schedule better. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, travel, or different daily rhythms.
