About Amy

Amy Gardiner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on practical, evidence-informed techniques to help clients refocus, build self-confidence, and develop coping strategies for challenges such as trauma, parenting struggles, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Amy emphasizes a respectful, compassionate therapeutic relationship and adapts her approach to each person’s needs.

Her practice integrates cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused interventions, and mindfulness practices to create targeted, collaborative plans. She also addresses related concerns including anger, family problems, caregiver stress, impulsivity, panic symptoms, social anxiety, and end-of-life or hospice related issues.

Clients working with Amy can expect a tailored process aimed at practical change and increased resilience. She frames therapy as a joint effort to identify goals, practice new skills, and make meaningful shifts that fit each client’s life and priorities.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Amy draws on cognitive-behavioral methods which focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. She also uses solution-focused techniques that emphasize practical steps and short-term goals to help clients move toward specific changes. Mindfulness-based practices are incorporated to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, anger, and impulse concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with each person to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans over time based on progress and feedback. This partnership helps tailor strategies that feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while allowing clients to choose the format that best supports their routine and access to services.
