About Amy
Amy Hayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, sleep or eating difficulties, anger, career transitions, trauma and abuse, and bipolar-related concerns.
Amy draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to match each person’s needs. She adjusts her approach to what a person is comfortable with and what makes sense for their situation.
How Amy works
Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and usable skills people can try between meetings. Her background includes work in both large cities and small towns, giving her experience with a range of cultures and life circumstances. Amy describes her motivation as rooted in having overcome major personal challenges herself.
That experience shapes how she encourages and supports others during difficult changes. In therapy people can expect conversations about current problems and habits that keep those problems going. Amy uses cognitive and human-focused methods along with task-oriented steps to help people take action.
The work is practical and aimed at helping clients notice progress and build new routines. Her style is supportive and goal-minded. She helps people find inner strengths, set realistic steps, and practice new skills.
Amy welcomes questions and frames the first sessions as a chance to decide together what will help most.

Evidence-based approaches and online access
Amy commonly uses cognitive approaches that look at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and actions. These techniques help people manage anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by teaching practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.She also uses humanistic, empowering methods that focus on a person’s strengths and values. This approach helps people reconnect with what matters to them, boost self-esteem, and find motivation during life transitions and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs to choose or adapt techniques that fit each person. The process is collaborative and aimed at small, achievable changes.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing visual cues matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want quick check-ins, or need flexible scheduling. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
