About Amy
Amy Klein brings 14 years of clinical experience to her psychotherapy practice in Michigan, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and insight-oriented approaches. She emphasizes building emotional safety and unconditional positive regard, drawing on a diverse background that ranges from community-based social work to clinical settings.
Background and approach
Her work is informed by long-standing personal and professional experience with addiction, trauma, and family dynamics, and she often blends practical skills with reflective practices to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions.
Her path into mental health began early and includes roles in in-home family therapy, community volunteering, and international service, followed by formal social work training. These varied settings - including work with tribal communities, correctional facilities, rural schools, and medical clinics - contribute to a flexible, grounded approach.
Amy also incorporates body-centered practices such as yoga and elements of Native tradition alongside therapeutic tools like CBT, mindfulness, and storytelling. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, working through multiple online formats to suit different lifestyles and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Two of the core methods Amy uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and acceptance strategies to help people live more purposefully despite painful thoughts or emotions.She also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize empathic listening and creating a supportive therapeutic relationship. Together these approaches aim to combine practical skills training with compassionate presence, and Amy collaborates with clients to determine which combination of techniques best fits their goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than prescribing a single solution upfront.
Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or travel. These formats allow consistent access to licensed professionals and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while adapting session length and style to what works best for each person.
