About Amy
Amy Klein Duane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and the ups and downs of life. Her manner is warm and observant, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Amy blends short-term, goal-focused techniques with a deeper look at patterns that keep problems repeating. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach coping skills and reduce anxious thinking.
How Amy works
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences shape current responses. Her background includes work with selective mutism and social anxiety, as well as experience in day treatment settings for people with chronic mental illness. Amy has also supported people facing aging, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life issues, and bereavement.
Sessions emphasize learning tools and building on strengths. She uses solution-focused strategies when a clear goal is needed, and shifts to longer work when deeper reflection is helpful. People who want both practical skills and thoughtful listening often find this mix useful.
Amy is licensed in Arizona and California and offers services in English. She tailors her approach to each person's needs and prefers simple, direct conversation that leads to noticeable change.

How Amy’s Approaches Work Online
Amy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and small behaviors, which can ease anxiety and depression through step-by-step skill practice. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, achievable changes and builds plans around what the person already does well.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, adjusting as you go. The process is collaborative so you can test strategies and keep what helps most.
Online formats offer real flexibility for this kind of work. Video calls let you use visual cues and practice breathing or grounding techniques with guidance. Phone sessions can be easier on low-bandwidth days or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
