About Amy
Amy Sherman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who uses client-centered work to help people make practical changes. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and cope with stress. Amy writes and talks plainly so people can understand next steps.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to connect in ways that fit busy lives. With 21 years of experience, Amy helps people unpack problems like depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
How Amy works
She also supports those facing parenting challenges, eating issues, and low self-esteem. Her work includes attention to relationship strain, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. Amy uses emotion-focused ideas to look at hurt and attachment patterns when relationships cause pain.
She combines that with CBT-style tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and with mindfulness practices to build steadiness in daily life. Hypnotherapy is another option she may use for focused change when appropriate. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
Amy helps people set a clear vision and small steps toward it. She emphasizes skill-building so people leave with tools they can use between sessions. People in Florida who prefer online options can work with her through several remote formats.
She speaks English and practices as an FL LMHC. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How Amy's Approaches Work Online
Amy uses client-centered therapy to start each online session by listening closely and helping people set goals that feel right for them. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a plan together that matches their values and needs.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT online involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-focused work is used when relationship pain or attachment issues are central; this helps people name emotions and change interaction patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process and will adjust based on goals, progress, and personal preference. She explains options and checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, chat and text allow brief check-ins or flexible check-ins during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other commitments.
