About Amy

Amy Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, eating concerns, grief, and a wide range of related issues.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience and a background in both individual care and clinical supervision, she blends evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance to support clients in making meaningful changes.

Her work emphasizes collaborative exploration and practical strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based approaches, and client-centered principles. She highlights transparency, accountability, and ongoing education as cornerstones of practice, and draws on personal recovery and leadership roles to inform her clinical perspective.

Amy aims to tailor interventions to each person’s needs while fostering self-discovery, resilience, and sustainable coping skills. Clients can expect a direct yet nurturing style that values grace, respect, and humility.

She maintains a focused caseload to prioritize individualized attention and integrates supervision experience into treatment planning and team leadership when appropriate.

Using CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online

Many clients find benefit from practical, skills-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by helping people clarify values and develop psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses relational patterns and how early bonds influence current relationships, helping clients build healthier connection and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods accordingly. Treatment often draws from more than one framework so that interventions fit the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access consistent care around work, family, and life demands. These formats support regular skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and continuity of care for those balancing busy schedules or limited local options.
