About Amy

Amy Crabtree is a licensed clinical social worker providing psychotherapy in Tennessee who draws on a cognitive behavioral framework to address a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience and an LCSW earned in 2012, she emphasizes the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help people build practical skills for coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her background includes extensive outpatient work in community mental health and involvement with substance abuse treatment programs.

She works compassionately with individuals facing relationship and family conflicts, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related and sexual concerns, issues around addiction and eating, workplace stress and career questions, and struggles with self-esteem, anger, or bipolar symptoms. Sessions center on goals set by the client and progress is pursued through collaborative, nonjudgmental conversations that respect each person’s starting point.

Amy aims to help clients develop clearer thinking patterns and actionable strategies so they can face challenges with greater resilience and clarity.

CBT-Based Care Online for Practical Change

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns to change emotional responses and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. Amy emphasizes practical exercises and skill building so clients can test new ways of thinking and reacting between sessions.

The choice of therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and she approaches that decision collaboratively. Together the client and therapist review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past to determine whether CBT or another direction is the best fit, and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with a licensed professional can make scheduling more flexible and help maintain continuity of care when life is busy. These formats allow for regular contact, practical homework review, and timely support while fitting therapy into daily routines.
