About Amie
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in Spanish literature and a master’s degree in counseling. Over nearly a decade she has worked with people facing substance use, domestic violence, grief, and identity-related matters such as LGBTQ concerns. She describes her style as empathetic while also being straightforward when that is helpful.
In sessions she helps people clarify what matters to them and find practical next steps. She aims to support people in discovering their own answers instead of imposing a single approach. That might mean talking through commitment worries, working on communication patterns, or addressing shame and trust after infidelity.
Amie draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify values and take small meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral tools are used to name unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on each person's experience.
People seeking help can expect a down-to-earth and respectful space to sort through difficult material. Amie encourages honest conversation and practical steps that fit daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship stress by focusing on meaningful change rather than only symptom relief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding. This approach is helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and changing unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience and can create space to process sensitive topics like trauma or identity-related worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying different strategies and adjusting what they focus on as needs change.
The biography does not list the specific online session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work from a quieter spot, choose whether to be on camera, or schedule appointments around work or family commitments. These practical conveniences often help people stay consistent while they work toward clearer communication, safer boundaries, or healing from past hurt.
