About Amy
Amy Crabtree is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She practices from Tennessee and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Amy keeps sessions respectful and direct, and she invites people to set their own goals for therapy.
She holds a Master of Social Work and completed the requirements for her LCSW in 2012. Before independent practice she spent 12 years working in community mental health as an outpatient therapist.
Background and approach
That background includes work with people in substance abuse treatment programs and with a wide range of diagnoses. Amy uses an approach that examines how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In session she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding.
Conversations are goal-focused and aimed at small, practical changes that add up over time. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, coping with life changes, and struggles with self-esteem and anger. She also has experience supporting people facing addictions and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered with a nonjudgmental attitude and an emphasis on meeting people where they are. Amy encourages clients to take the lead on goals and to move at a pace that feels manageable. Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and supportive.
How CBT-focused care works online
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in sessions, a hands-on method that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and focuses on skills you can practice between sessions, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client work together to choose goals and try techniques that match the client’s needs and preferences. If something isn’t helping, they adjust the plan and try alternate strategies until a good fit is found.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and do guided exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or prompt support between appointments. These options make it simpler to build consistent therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or other responsibilities.
