About Amy

Amy Nevells is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. She offers practical support for those facing anger, relationship strains, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a wide range of related challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice commonly addresses both emotional recovery and practical coping skills so clients can move toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused methods when appropriate.

Amy aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop skills to manage symptoms and respond to life stressors more effectively. She emphasizes collaboration, helping each person identify priorities and build workable steps toward change.

Based in South Carolina and practicing in English, Amy also brings experience with issues tied to caregiving, chronic illness and pain, aging concerns, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. She frames therapy as a process that requires courage and active partnership, offering steady support as clients pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving techniques. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and acceptance skills to help manage emotional reactivity and improve stress tolerance during difficult life changes and grief. Motivational Interviewing supports clients in clarifying their personal goals and strengthening motivation for change through a collaborative, empathetic conversation style.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions, adjusting techniques over time to match progress and needs.

Online therapy with this practitioner uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These options make it easier to attend appointments from home or on the go, maintain consistency between sessions, and choose the format that best supports communication and continuity of care.
