About Amy
Amy Roth is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience who works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma and mood-related challenges. She holds LPC-MH and LMHC credentials and earned a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Resource Development from South Dakota State University in 2007.
Background and approach
Amy typically focuses on clients aged 15 and older while retaining experience across the lifespan, and she tailors care to each person’s immediate needs and goals. Her approach is collaborative and flexible, combining practical skills and reflective work to address issues like depression, panic, attachment concerns, grief, and identity questions including gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns.
She blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with attachment-focused and client-centered strategies to help clients manage symptoms, understand patterns, and build skills for day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit different schedules and communication preferences.
Amy emphasizes meeting people where they are and shaping a treatment plan based on what is most useful for the person in front of her.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating, which can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, family of origin problems, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, providing space for people to explore values, self-esteem, life purpose, and identity at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then combine methods as needed so sessions reflect the individual’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and to continue therapeutic work between meetings through messaging or chat-based check-ins, supporting continuity and adaptability in care.
