Amy Boggs, LISW

Amy Boggs is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Amy draws on nearly two decades of experience to support those facing grief, relationship strain, addiction struggles, and self-esteem concerns.

Amy uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She often works with issues like coping with chronic illness, caregiver burnout, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. Her background includes long experience supporting people through end-of-life and hospice-related concerns.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Amy encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions and to notice what changes. She pays attention to family of origin issues, forgiveness work, and feelings of emptiness or isolation when they come up.

People also bring career stress, codependency, divorce or separation worries, and anger or control issues. Amy helps people break those problems into manageable steps and develop clearer choices. She draws on her years in practice to match strategies to each person's situation.

Her approach is respectful and values the role of personal beliefs in healing. Amy aims to help people rebuild hope, strengthen coping skills, and find practical ways forward in everyday life.

CBT-based approaches and online therapy options

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that feed stress and anxiety, then test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms. CBT work often involves setting specific goals, practicing new skills, and trying brief experiments between sessions to see what helps.

She pairs that CBT focus with problem-focused conversations aimed at managing grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness issues, and relationship or family-of-origin concerns. The therapist and client plan the approach together, adjusting techniques based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences so treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and behavioral experiments, while phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep consistent progress over time.
