About Amy

Amy Wesley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical work, she draws on evidence-informed tools to support clients managing depression, grief, anger, addictions, self-esteem, and career-related difficulties while also addressing issues such as blended family dynamics, commitment and communication problems, and social anxiety.

Her style emphasizes a person-centered foundation combined with structured interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR-informed techniques. Amy frames therapy as a collaborative process that cultivates self-awareness, practical coping skills, and healthier patterns of relating to others.

She works with individuals who are exploring identity and self-love, facing pregnancy and childbirth transitions, or confronting isolation and guilt, and she accepts international clients who prefer English-language care. Practically minded and compassionate, Amy aims to help clients build meaningful, sustainable changes through short- and longer-term work that fits their needs and schedules.

Her approach balances empathy with actionable strategies for everyday coping and relationship repair.

Evidence-Based Strategies for Online Care and Growth

Amy often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions, a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to help clients clarify values, practice mindful acceptance of difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. These approaches are explained in straightforward language and applied to real-life situations to support improved coping and decision making.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with each client to explore what methods feel most useful, adjusting techniques as goals evolve so treatment reflects the client’s needs, preferences, and pace. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays relevant and actionable.

Online therapy with Amy is offered through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to make participation more flexible around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options allow clients to engage in consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum even when schedules change.
