Amy LaRowe, LPCC

Amy LaRowe is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier when stress, anxiety, grief, or depression make daily life harder. Amy calls on straightforward tools and an encouraging stance so clients can begin to move toward change.

She believes people are the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths. In sessions she listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps clients try small, manageable changes. The goal is to make problems feel less overwhelming and to create habits that support better days.

Her work includes attention to relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing mood disorders such as bipolar conditions, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder. Additional focus areas include chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster.

Amy uses approaches that include cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused techniques alongside a client-centered way of working. That means sessions combine skills-based work with space to be heard. Clients can expect practical strategies, reflection, and collaborative planning.

She practices in Ohio and conducts work in English. Amy aims to help people build clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more workable routines so everyday life becomes more manageable.

How Amy's Approaches Work Online

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can lift mood and reduce anxiety. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills people can use between sessions.

She also works in a client-centered way, which means she follows the client's lead, listens carefully, and builds on existing strengths. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events have a clear impact, offering ways to process distress and reduce its hold on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps match tools to the person and their situation rather than relying on a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write about thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
