About Amy
Amy Daum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with ten years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals facing depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Her style is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. That means listening first, then suggesting small changes or coping tools that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She encourages realistic goals and checks in often about what is or isn’t working. Amy has worked with people dealing with substance use, attachment struggles, codependency, and family of origin issues. She also supports people coping with impulsivity, guilt, shame, jealousy, and emptiness.
Seasonal Affective Disorder and post-traumatic stress are among the concerns she addresses. Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-focused while still allowing space to process difficult feelings. Amy helps people build new habits, improve communication, and repair relationships with themselves and others.
She emphasizes self-love and practical forgiveness work when relevant. People who choose her often want a counselor who speaks plainly and offers tangible tools. Amy invites clients to take the first step and says seeking help is a brave move.
She works collaboratively to match approaches to each person’s goals and situation.
Approaches that guide online care
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes practical coping strategies for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral changes that reduce day-to-day distress. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its effects by helping people name painful memories, understand how those memories affect behavior, and develop safer responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. You and the therapist make decisions together about which techniques to keep, modify, or drop.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions.
