About Amy
Amy Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She brings a faith-informed perspective rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ that guides her sense of hope and compassion.

Background and approach
Amy also helps people facing mood and personality challenges and major life changes. Her approach centers on listening first and helping clients name what matters to them. Amy uses several therapy styles to match individual needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance strategies, attachment-focused work, client-centered care, and eye movement approaches.
She aims to translate those methods into simple steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions focus on building skills, clarifying values, and addressing painful memories when needed. Clients can expect a collaborative pace where they guide the goals and Amy offers structure and tools.
She emphasizes coping skills, grief processing, and practical steps for reducing anxiety and stress. Amy encourages people to try small changes and notice what helps. Therapy conversations are guided by respect for each person’s story and by clear, understandable goals.
If someone wants a grounded, values-oriented counselor who listens and offers concrete next steps, Amy provides that kind of support.
How Amy’s Approaches Work Online
Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, change patterns, and build healthier routines.She also works from an attachment-based perspective to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Attachment-focused work can help with intimacy concerns, codependency, and communication problems by identifying relational patterns and offering new ways to connect.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on skills training, values-based change, or processing difficult memories.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions and skill practice. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, mood tracking, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy steady around work, caregiving, and daily life.
