About Amy

Dr. Amy Guertin is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on nearly three decades of clinical experience to offer practical, evidence-informed strategies that address mood disorders, panic, social anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and the ripple effects of trauma and family conflict. Dr.

Guertin blends acceptance-based and cognitive methods with client-centered and solution-focused work to tailor interventions to each person’s priorities. Her practice emphasizes building coping skills, improving communication, and identifying values-driven goals so clients can navigate parenting challenges, relationship strains, and changes in daily life with greater clarity and resilience.

She works in English and holds Illinois LCPC licensure (IL LCPC 180004331).

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Guertin frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and build willingness to face difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and challenges tied to life transitions or mood difficulties.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, a practical method for addressing panic, social anxiety, mood disorders, and self-esteem concerns. These approaches are presented in accessible, collaborative ways so clients can practice new skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work; she collaborates with each person to select strategies that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. Together they review what is helping, adjust methods as needed, and set achievable steps toward improvement.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, skills coaching, and supportive guidance while adapting to each client’s communication style and practical needs.
