About Amy
Amy Seligson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who chose this path because therapy changed her life. She remembers being a child in counseling during her parents' separation and wanting to offer that same steady support to others. Amy uses her own experience to stay grounded and compassionate in sessions.
She completed a Master of Arts in Counseling from Wayne State University and holds LPC licensure in Michigan and Colorado. Before clinical work she taught in special education and later worked as a school counselor.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her hands-on experience with children, adolescents, teens, and parents. Amy focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She draws from client-centered methods to listen closely and from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses mindfulness and dialectical skills to help manage strong emotions and stay present. People often come to her for relationship struggles, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, trauma, and issues around intimacy and self-worth. She also addresses codependency, grief from divorce or separation, and problems tied to family conflict.
Amy aims to make sessions feel like a calm, honest conversation. She works with each person to create goals and small steps toward them. Her approach is direct but warm, focusing on what helps a person move forward.
Approach and options for online therapy
Amy uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions around each person's priorities, listening without judgment and shaping goals around what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also part of her work, using straightforward exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and change small daily habits that contribute to stress or low mood. These methods are helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Amy meets people where they are, talks about goals and preferences, and adjusts methods as needed so the plan fits each person's life. She treats therapy as a collaborative process and checks in about what is or isn't working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days or provide quick reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into school, work, or family routines while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical skills.
