About Amira

Amira King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, individualized style.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and EMDR to help clients address mood and anxiety concerns, trauma, relationship difficulties, and patterns tied to abandonment or attachment wounds.

With three years of clinical experience, Amira has worked with people managing depression, bipolar disorder, panic and other mood-related conditions, as well as those coping with grief, addiction, intimacy and self-esteem issues.

Her practice frequently attends to complex emotional responses like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation, and to life transitions, chronic illness, and questions of life purpose and sexuality. She focuses on collaboratively building coping skills, improving communication, and supporting steps toward meaningful change.

Amira is licensed in Nevada (NV LCSW 11675-C) and provides care in English. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and circumstances, combining practical strategies with attention to attachment and trauma-related dynamics.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amira integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful changes, often supporting clients facing grief, chronic pain, or life transitions. Attachment-informed approaches explore relational patterns and early attachment dynamics to help improve communication, intimacy, and long-standing relational wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. This collaborative exploration allows for flexibility, with techniques blended and adjusted over time to fit practical needs and therapeutic progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions during life changes, reduce travel time, and access care from varied locations within the therapist’s practice area, while preserving opportunities for skill-building, emotional processing, and therapeutic connection.
