About Amy
Amy Brant is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions. Amy aims to help clients make changes that improve daily life and relationships.
She began her career in 1998 as a teacher for students with special needs and later worked as a public school guidance counselor.
Background and approach
In 2011 she completed her LMFT credential and moved into clinical practice, drawing on years of education and school-based experience. That background shapes how she understands family patterns and individual behavior. Amy adapts her approach to each person she sees.
Some people prefer short, solution-focused work. Others want a more collaborative and educational process. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques depending on the situation.
In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients identify steps they can try between appointments. She often blends talking strategies with skills practice so people can manage symptoms and improve relationships. Her aim is to support people as they move from problems toward clearer goals.
Amy works with adults on a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image and self-esteem, chronic illness, and complex grief. She frames therapy as a partnership focused on practical change and better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when emotions are difficult, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and patterns that maintain depression or anxiety.She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered techniques to focus on relationship patterns and to create a supportive, empathic atmosphere. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day demands.
