About Amy
Amy Conwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. She speaks plainly and uses both conversation and body-aware methods to guide clients toward clearer choices and greater self-acceptance. Amy focuses on practical steps you can use right away.
She blends somatic techniques with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions often include noticing physical sensations, exploring relationship patterns, and learning ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She has 13 years as an LPC and brings long experience working with addiction, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma-related issues. Her practice also addresses burnout, compassion fatigue, body image, chronic pain and illness, and substance use challenges. In the therapy room she combines curiosity with direct feedback.
That can mean naming recurring patterns, helping a person locate where feelings live in the body, or practicing new ways to respond to old triggers. The aim is clearer day-to-day coping and more freedom in relationships. Amy uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside somatic and attachment-based work.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, working through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic-informed work helps people notice where emotions show up in the body, such as tension, breath changes, or tightness. Online sessions can use guided attention and simple movement or breath exercises to bring that awareness into talk-based work and to help with stress, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. In virtual sessions the therapist and client look at those patterns together, name recurring cycles, and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person sets the pace. This approach gives room for people to explore difficult topics, process grief or addiction issues, and find their own solutions with supportive feedback from the therapist.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean shifting focus from body awareness to problem-solving, or combining approaches over several sessions.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who cannot travel. These formats allow ongoing check-ins, practice between sessions, and timely support while preserving continuity of care with licensed professionals.
