Amy Oxendine, LCSW

Amy Oxendine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and worries about sleep or eating. Amy also addresses career strain, compassion fatigue, parenting stresses, and other life changes that leave people feeling stuck.

With seven years of experience, Amy draws on time spent in a variety of settings. Her background includes work in independent mental health agencies, child protective services, hospitals, group homes, and public schools. She has supported veterans with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, medical and psychosocial concerns, and military sexual trauma.

Amy takes a practical, person-focused approach. She listens first to understand what matters to each person. Then she uses short-term strategies and goal-focused work to help people make changes that fit their lives. Techniques come from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Sessions emphasize clear steps and real-world practice. Amy helps people identify strengths, try new skills, and track small gains over time. Her style is warm, energetic, and encouraging, aimed at helping clients reach goals they set together.

If someone is ready to start, Amy asks them to pick the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person’s priorities, and shaping sessions around what the person finds most important. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. Amy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust plans as progress is made.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes it easier to have regular check-ins, and allows practicing skills between meetings. Online sessions can simplify scheduling, reduce travel time, and make brief follow-ups or focused skill practice easier to arrange.
