About Amy
Amy Powers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She uses practical methods to help people manage stress, mood problems, relationship strain, and everyday challenges related to work and family. Amy centers sessions on clear goals and straightforward work.
She often uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also draws on client-centered ideas to keep conversations warm and respectful while staying focused on change.
Background and approach
She has worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and relationship struggles. ADHD is listed among her areas of focus, along with parenting and career stress. She also helps with obsessive thoughts, panic, and attachment-related concerns.
Amy aims to be direct and practical in session. She and a client set an individualized plan, then track small steps toward those goals. Sessions mix talk, skill practice, and simple homework when that fits the person's life.
She offers therapy in South Carolina and provides services through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English. For people wondering how to begin, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Amy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle ADHD-related challenges. Cognitive work is usually paired with clear action steps to practice between sessions.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. That approach helps people feel heard while they decide what changes matter most. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques may be used for strong emotions and coping skills, offering concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, troubles, and preferences, and then recommend methods that fit the situation. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life. Phone or messaging can be quicker check-ins or lower-bandwidth options, while video calls allow for more face-to-face conversation. These options help people keep continuity of care and fit therapy into busy schedules.
