About Amy

Amy Brant is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana who brings three decades of experience to work with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD and many related areas.

Background and approach

She began her career in education, teaching students with special needs and serving as a public school guidance counselor before completing her LMFT to focus on how family systems and early experiences shape adult choices and coping patterns.

Her style adapts to what each person needs, ranging from brief, solution-oriented work to more collaborative, educational processes that explore history and current functioning. Amy draws on Internal Family Systems alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor sessions to individual goals.

Over time she aims to strengthen insight, build practical skills, and promote healthier relationships and self-management. Amy emphasizes an individualized approach, listening carefully and shaping interventions to match where a person is and where they want to go.

Her background in schools and family therapy informs a practical, strengths-based orientation that supports clients through life transitions and ongoing challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views a person as having multiple inner parts that can be understood, unburdened, and guided by a core Self, which can help with complex responses to trauma, inner conflict, and patterns that affect relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, building psychological flexibility, and practicing acceptance alongside committed action to address anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational experiences shape expectations and emotional bonds, which can be useful for improving connection and resolving recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with clients to identify which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to remain aligned with what produces meaningful progress for each person.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, allowing clients and licensed professionals to work together consistently while adapting session style and frequency to individual circumstances.
