How Amy works
She earned two master’s degrees from the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky: Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions typically focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small, doable changes.
Amy helps people set short-term goals and build skills they can use between sessions. Clients can expect clear, practical suggestions and a warm, nonjudgmental tone. Amy values collaboration and treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life.
She listens for strengths and helps people apply them to current problems. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, travel, reading, and time with family and dogs. Those interests inform a down-to-earth style that many people find easy to relate to.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that work well online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. It often involves simple homework or practice between sessions to test small changes. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying clear, short-term goals and finding practical steps to reach them. This approach is useful when someone wants targeted, results-oriented sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which approach or combination might fit best. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, goal tracking, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain ongoing momentum between sessions, and choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
