About Amy

Amy Oxendine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction.

Background and approach

With seven years of professional experience, she draws on work across clinical settings to address issues such as intimacy-related problems, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is flexible and client-focused, blending client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to meet people where they are and tailor interventions to individual needs. Amy emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping clients identify strengths and practical steps toward their goals.

She also attends to additional areas like adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and blended family concerns, body image, chronic illness and disability, and various personality and mood-related challenges. Known for a compassionate and energetic style, she aims to support meaningful change by combining evidence-informed strategies and an appreciation for each person’s uniqueness.

Amy invites prospective clients to explore therapy as a partnership focused on growth, problem-solving, and improved daily functioning.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Client-centered therapy is grounded in listening, empathy, and collaboration; it helps build a strong therapeutic relationship and supports people in exploring values, strengths, and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation for concerns like trauma, grief, and chronic stress.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend or blend methods that fit those priorities. This shared process helps ensure interventions feel relevant and achievable for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging available to match different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without commuting, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to choose how to participate in ways that suit daily routines.
