More about Amy
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hello to all, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years' experience as a clinician, including five years at a mental health urgent care.
I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, trauma, anger, workplace problems, family/ relationship dynamics, assertiveness, communication, and boundaries.
Not widely experienced with addiction treatment (alcohol, drugs or "process disorders" - pornography, gambling, exercise), eating disorder treatment, body dysmorphia or Autism Spectrum Disorder.
My service has been diverse in terms of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion and age.
I especially enjoy working with young adults as they encounter the demands of the world and seek to build life independently.
Many people ask what therapy is like. For those new to therapy, it's a conversation in a judgment-free zone. I take a warm and engaging approach that's strength-based (identifying and drawing on your strengths).
I'm active and like to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and ask questions to get to the core of a problem. Voicing your concerns and being heard can relax your mind and body.
I prefer using video sessions and phone if more convenient. I'm not offering live chat feature; seeing and hearing clients helps me determine the level wellness or struggle best.
Depending on each person's needs I may suggest coping techniques from modalities like grounding, exposure therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy and others that may help.
If you would like to work towards improving your emotional health I'm happy to explore issues with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
