Amy Woodward, LPC, LCMHC

Amy Woodward is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She practices from Vermont and offers services in English, including to international clients.

Amy uses straightforward, practical tools so people can cope better day to day. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance and mindfulness ideas to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. Sessions often include skills practice, gentle reality testing, and steps to make small, useful changes between meetings.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Amy listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. She supports people working through relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy concerns, career stress, and life transitions.

She also addresses complex issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and substance use. When trauma or emotional numbness appears, she combines grounding and DBT-style skills with acceptance-based strategies to reduce overwhelm.

Therapy with Amy can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary with location and which subscription plan is used, and subscriptions can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered Work Online

Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations; CBT often focuses on changing patterns that keep problems stuck and is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then taking values-based action; ACT can be useful for chronic worry, avoidance, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, listening stance where the person sets the pace and direction of work, which supports self-exploration and building trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques over time so the work matches what a person needs and prefers rather than prescribing a single path.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skills practice, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel while still using structured therapeutic approaches.
