About Amy

Amy Conwell is an LPC who aims to help people who are ready to examine recurring patterns that undermine their relationships, work, and sense of self.

Background and approach

She frames difficult emotions and behavioral cycles as parts of a larger inner landscape and supports clients in learning how those parts developed and how they influence present choices. The result-oriented work emphasizes greater self-understanding and relief from patterns of avoidance, self-sabotage, and relational pain.

Her style blends warmth and straightforward guidance, using experiential methods to make abstract patterns palpable and changeable. Amy draws from approaches such as Internal Family Systems, attachment-aware work, and client-centered principles alongside cognitive and emotionally focused techniques to create a flexible plan tailored to each person’s goals.

With 13 years as a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania, she brings clinical skill and practical tools for challenges like addiction, grief, parenting strains, depression, anxiety, and intimacy or communication issues.

Integrating relational and parts-based work in online therapy



Internal Family Systems (IFS) explores inner parts as distinct aspects of experience - protective, wounded, or reactive - and helps clients develop a compassionate, curious relationship to them. This approach can be useful for people who struggle with recurring self-defeating patterns, dissociation, or strong emotional reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to early relational patterns and how they shape expectations, trust, and communication in current relationships; it is often applied when concerns involve intimacy, attachment issues, or patterns of abandonment and codependency.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to consider needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend IFS, attachment-focused interventions, and client-centered or cognitive techniques to create a plan that fits the person’s situation.

Online therapy allows for flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, helping clients maintain continuity around work, caregiving, or travel constraints. These formats support regular practice of skills between sessions and make it easier to engage in reflective, experiential work from locations that suit the client.
