About Amy
Amy Verhoeven helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. She introduces a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. Amy works with adults who want clearer motivation, better coping skills, and more confidence.
Amy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of using a fixed script.
How Amy works
Sessions aim to identify small changes that add up to real relief and forward movement. She pays attention to issues like attention difficulties, panic attacks, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. Amy also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and searching for life purpose.
She encourages simple, doable strategies for self-love and emotional regulation. Amy believes the first step toward a happier life takes courage, and she offers steady support through that process. Her style is warm and direct, balancing empathy with concrete suggestions.
Clients can expect a collaborative plan, regular check-ins, and adjustments as needs change. Sessions are tailored to fit each person's goals and pace. Over time Amy helps people build skills they can use outside sessions so improvements last beyond therapy hours.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people who feel stuck by giving them clear steps to try and measure progress.Another approach concentrates on skills for emotional regulation and handling strong reactions. Sessions teach tools for calming panic, managing impulsivity, and coping during big life changes. These techniques are useful for people working on self-esteem, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation.
Choosing the right approach is a shared decision. Amy will work with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit short check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
