About Amy
Amy Sherman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She draws on 21 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and addiction. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on small changes that lead to clearer thinking and steadier moods.
Amy works with adults who want to improve communication, cope with grief or trauma, or rebuild after divorce or other major life changes.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods to listen first and understand each person’s priorities. Then she blends targeted tools to address those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with more realistic thoughts and actions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people in naming and regulating strong emotions, which can improve relationships and intimacy-related concerns. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques are added when appropriate to teach relaxation and focus. Sessions aim to identify practical steps the client can take between meetings.
Amy encourages clear goal-setting and progress checks so people can measure change. Her style is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on usable tools rather than jargon. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and depend on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Amy frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. In practical online sessions she teaches simple exercises to reframe unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors between meetings.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients name and work through strong emotions. That approach helps people learn to recognize feelings, calm themselves, and respond differently in relationships and stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amy begins by listening to goals and concerns, then suggests one or a mix of methods that suit the person's needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client observe facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit regular care into a busy life.
