About Amy

Amy Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice helping people navigate complex emotional and relational concerns. She blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools to create individualized plans that address issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship strain.

Background and approach

Amy’s training emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional insight so clients leave sessions with concrete strategies and a clearer sense of direction. She draws from Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Her work often involves exploring identity and sexuality, addressing intimacy-related concerns, and supporting those coping with life changes like divorce, adoption and foster care dynamics, or blended family challenges. Amy maintains professional credentials as an LCSW in Texas and Idaho and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.

Her approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on building resilience and healthier patterns over time.

Integrating attachment, skills, and relationships in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current emotional needs and interpersonal reactions; it helps people understand trust, closeness, and fear of abandonment in order to form more stable connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage ADHD-related challenges, and shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for impulse control, intense emotions, and relationship conflict.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with clients to clarify goals and preferences and then integrates methods that fit their needs, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the plan remains aligned with what they find most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to attend therapy around work, family, and time zone differences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from a licensed professional even when in-person appointments are not feasible.
