About Amy
Amy Seligson is a licensed professional counselor with a Master’s in Counseling from Wayne State University. She decided to become a therapist after experiencing the benefits of counseling herself during her parents' separation. Her early experience shaped a commitment to help others find clearer paths through hard transitions.
Amy has worked as a special education teacher and as a counselor. Those roles gave her hands-on experience supporting children, adolescents, teens, and parents.
Background and approach
She draws on those years when she talks with people about stress, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. In sessions she focuses on practical skills and steady support. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts, practice new ways of relating, and build stronger coping tools.
People bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief after separation, parenting strain, and problems with self-esteem. Amy also helps people facing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, codependency, and life transitions like divorce or separation. She includes mindfulness and existential perspectives when clients want to explore meaning, direction, or feelings of emptiness.
Her work aims to be collaborative and grounded. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people make small changes that add up. Amy practices in Colorado and offers sessions that can fit into busy lives.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Amy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to try CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or a blend of approaches based on needs and progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options help people fit therapy into school, work, or family routines.
