Background and approach

Since completing a Master of Social Work at Western Michigan University, Amy has worked in medical clinics, rural schools, a Native tribe, and a medium-security prison. Amy favors approaches that are practical and easy to use. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, Jungian perspectives, and a client-centered stance.

Sessions often mix breath and grounding practices, simple behavioral experiments, and conversational reflection to build daily routines that feel doable. Her lived experience and long career inform how she listens. Amy describes herself as an empath who values holding emotional space and offering unconditional positive regard.

She also weaves storytelling, philosophy, music, and art into care when those tools fit a persons needs. Outside of therapy she teaches yoga, practices Reiki, and spends time in nature near Lake Michigan. People who want practical strategies, steady listening, and a blend of modern and traditional approaches may find her style approachable.

Approach-Based Online Therapy that Fits Your Life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change habits and reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel understood as they choose goals and strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions fit when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing encouragement. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
