About Amy
Amy Murray is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Amy uses an approachable style that encourages people to draw on their own strengths while learning new ways to cope.
Her work often centers on practical skills such as breathing and movement techniques from yoga, mindfulness-informed cognitive-behavioral ideas, and solution-focused steps to handle immediate problems.
How Amy works
She also uses narrative techniques to help people make sense of painful events and shifting identities. Sessions aim to build tools that fit everyday life, not just ideas on a page. Amy pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, body responses, and relationship patterns interact.
She helps clients notice unhelpful cycles and try small changes to test out new responses. That hands-on approach is intended to create lasting shifts rather than quick fixes. She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and issues commonly experienced by women.
Amy emphasizes practical, doable steps so clients can practice between sessions and measure progress. Starting therapy can feel hard, and Amy offers a steady, respectful approach to guide people through early steps. She works collaboratively to tailor plans that match each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Amy draws from a few evidence-based techniques that many people find helpful. Mindfulness-informed cognitive-behavioral ideas focus on noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. These techniques help with worry, low mood, and building daily routines that support mood and functioning.Solution-focused work centers on small, concrete steps and goals to reduce immediate stressors and improve problem-solving. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, actionable strategies to handle work stress or life transitions. Narrative techniques help people reframe painful experiences and explore how stories about oneself influence behavior and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to assess what fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interactions, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to check in between sessions or fit brief support into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
