She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont. Amy brings 11 years of experience to each appointment and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

How Amy works
The tone is calm and direct, with simple tools offered for everyday problems. Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. These methods are adapted to each person's situation rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Amy also uses motivational interviewing strategies when addressing substance use and addictive habits. People come to Amy for a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. She supports coping with grief, career stress, intimacy issues, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with communication problems, codependency, and recovery from abuse or trauma. Sessions are offered in English and Amy accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that works with the therapist's availability. Amy frames therapy as a partnership. She aims to help people build resilience, clarify values, and find concrete ways to move forward from setbacks.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with depression, anxiety, and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences. Together they decide which strategies to try, and Amy checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what is helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
