About Amy
Amy Crabtree uses a practical, thought-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience and brings a steady, respectful style to sessions.
Amy earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work, and completed requirements for her Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in 2012. She spent 12 years working in community mental health as an outpatient therapist.
How Amy works
That work included time supporting people in substance abuse treatment programs and working with a wide range of diagnoses. In sessions she concentrates on how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, using straightforward strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Goals come from the client, and she helps people break those goals into manageable steps.
Conversations are practical and grounded in everyday life. Amy emphasizes respect and compassion and aims to create a nonjudgmental space. She encourages small, achievable changes and checks in about what is or isn’t working.
Parents and caregivers will find clear feedback and tools they can use between sessions. Her background in community mental health gives her experience with addiction, trauma, grief, parenting strain, and workplace burnout. She also supports people navigating intimacy issues, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career changes.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted with attention to each person’s individual needs.

Online support options
CBT and practical online support for everyday problems
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing the thoughts that contribute to upsetting feelings and unhelpful behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many relationship or parenting challenges because it gives clear steps to test and change thinking patterns.The choice of approach is collaborative. Amy works with each person to see what fits their goals and preferences. If a technique isn’t working, she adjusts it and tries different ways to reach the same goal, so the plan evolves with the client.
Online sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls make it easy to have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between longer sessions or handle brief topics without scheduling a full video meeting.
These options make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, school, or family life. Amy’s experience in community mental health means she’s used to working with people in varied situations and using the online formats to keep therapy practical and goal oriented.
