About Amy

Amy Phelps is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, mood concerns, addiction, eating issues, grief, intimacy problems, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She integrates evidence-based methods with a person-centered, trauma-informed outlook and draws on a range of therapeutic tools to tailor care to each client's needs. Amy also brings specific attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, communication and blended family issues, dissociation, and other overlapping difficulties.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and practical application of research-informed techniques. Amy blends Internal Family Systems work with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centered methods.

She has experience in clinical supervision and leadership roles and grounds her work in long-term learning and lived experience in recovery. Clients can expect a thoughtful, adaptable clinician who balances clinical knowledge with empathy and intentional honesty.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online therapy



Amy frequently draws from Internal Family Systems to help clients explore internal parts and their roles, offering a framework for understanding inner conflicts and healing from trauma. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work as well, emphasizing relational patterns and how early bonds influence current difficulties, which can be useful for relationship concerns and attachment wounds.

Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time so care stays relevant to each person's evolving situation and healing objectives.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, manage sessions around busy lives, and choose the way of interacting that feels most comfortable while accessing licensed professionals experienced in these therapeutic methods.
