Amy Phelps , LPC

Amy Phelps is a licensed psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with a long-standing commitment to evidence-informed care and holistic understanding. She holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and a board certification in clinical supervision, which reflects her role in mentoring and guiding other clinicians. With 18 years of practice, she blends research-based techniques, clinical intuition, and a practical interest in holistic medicine to tailor treatment to each person's needs.

Amy approaches healing as a collaborative process grounded in transparency and accountability. She emphasizes person-centered, trauma-informed care while drawing on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and solution-focused work to address issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, eating concerns, and a wide range of other presenting problems. Her work is informed by ongoing professional development and a dedication to lifelong learning.

Personal experience also shapes Amy's practice. She values motherhood, faith, and recovery as meaningful influences on her perspective, and she celebrated eleven years of sobriety in November 2025. That lived experience contributes to the guidance she offers both clients and clinical staff. Over the years she has expanded from direct practice into leadership roles, including clinical director and clinical supervision, aiming to strengthen community services and support local courts.

Amy has chosen to maintain relatively small caseloads and a flexible practice structure, contracting with organizations that respect practitioner independence. Client reviews are voluntary and welcomed as part of the feedback that informs her approach. She invites those exploring therapy to review her scope of practice and consider a collaborative path toward growth and recovery.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Amy commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online practice, and she also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and the client’s own goals - it supports self-discovery and relationship or attachment concerns by creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or difficulties with coping, and it often includes practical skills for daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and values-based action to help people live more fully despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can be useful for stress, avoidance, and issues related to identity or recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to evaluate which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. The client’s input guides the selection and pacing of interventions.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow ongoing support between sessions when appropriate, and help connect with licensed professionals and therapists from varied locations while maintaining a focused therapeutic relationship.
