About Amy
Amy Brant is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and changes in life such as career shifts or health issues. Amy is based in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.
Amy began her career in 1998 as a teacher for students with special needs and later served as a public school guidance counselor.
Background and approach
Those early roles shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy and her focus on how family and past experiences influence present choices. Her style adapts to what each person needs. Some clients prefer short, solution-focused work to address a specific problem.
Others need a slower, collaborative pace that includes education about patterns and skills for long-term change. Amy uses somatic ideas alongside cognitive and attachment-informed approaches to help people notice how their bodies and relationships affect feelings. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to clarify values and strengthen coping skills.
Sessions are tailored to individual goals, whether that means addressing past events, managing current stress, or planning for a healthier future. Amy aims to listen with empathy and help clients build practical steps toward feeling more in control and connected.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Somatic-informed work helps people notice bodily sensations and how the body responds to stress and memories. Online sessions can guide gentle awareness of breath, posture, and grounding in ways that reduce overwhelm and support emotional regulation.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them. In remote sessions Amy would use ACT techniques to help identify what matters most and to build committed actions that fit daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current connections. Through conversation and reflective exercises online, a therapist can help a person understand patterns and practice new ways of relating in their close relationships.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match a client's goals, needs, and comfort with online formats. Decisions about techniques are reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can shift when needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety lets people pick what fits their schedule and comfort level, whether they need real-time conversation or time to reflect between messages. Remote options can make it easier to maintain consistency and access care from home.
