Background and approach
She uses motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. Narrative practices help people reshape the stories they tell about themselves and their challenges. Amy has worked in hospice and with first responder issues, and she has experience supporting young adults.
She brings 21 years of clinical practice to her work in Pennsylvania as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs. Amy encourages small steps that add up over time and focuses on skills people can use between meetings.
How mindfulness, motivation, and storytelling translate online
Amy uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice stress and anxiety without getting swept up by it; short breathing and grounding practices are often taught and practiced in sessions to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person’s reasons for change and to strengthen their own motivation for action. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and offers ways to reframe problems so they feel less defining.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. Together they adjust techniques over time so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat offer quick check-ins and brief support between longer sessions, making it simpler to keep momentum.
