About Amy

Amy Klein is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience who blends evidence-based practices with an intuitive, person-centered sensibility.

Background and approach

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and Jungian ideas alongside creative tools like storytelling, yoga, and breath work to support clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, and related life challenges. Her approach emphasizes compassionate presence and practical strategies to help people reconnect with their inner compass and move toward meaningful change.

Her background spans community programs, in-home family services, work with youth-at-risk in the Peace Corps, clinical roles in medical and correctional settings, and services for tribal communities and rural schools. Those varied experiences inform a flexible style that adapts therapeutic techniques to fit each person’s needs and values.

Amy also brings a personal commitment to holistic practices, teaching yoga and Reiki and incorporating elements of mindfulness and creative expression when appropriate. She is based in Michigan and offers services informed by both clinical training and long-term community work.

Integrating Evidence-Based Methods for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which supports symptom reduction and practical coping skills for concerns such as anxiety, depression, and certain behavioral issues. Mindfulness-based techniques emphasize present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance; these practices can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and complement other therapeutic work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from multiple approaches over time to create a personalized plan that feels workable and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into varied schedules and life demands. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent care, adapt homework and exercises for remote use, and maintain continuity when in-person sessions are not possible, supporting steady progress regardless of location.
