About Amy

Amy McKinney is a clinical psychologist with a decade of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Based in Wyoming and credentialed as WY Psychologist 607, she brings a background that began with supporting service members, which informs her work with trauma, loss, and related challenges. Her approach emphasizes shifting how clients view themselves in the present moment to foster increased confidence, calmer moods, and a clearer sense of purpose.

She blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness-informed practices, and trauma-focused interventions to tailor care to each person’s needs. Amy aims to help people develop practical skills for managing emotions, improving sleep, and reducing addictive patterns while also exploring life transitions, relationships, and identity concerns.

Her manner is warm and encouraging, and she emphasizes collaboration as clients take steps toward change. Those who choose to work with her can expect a focused, strengths-oriented process that values realistic self-perspective and gradual growth.

She acknowledges that change can be challenging and invites clients to approach the work with curiosity, effort, and moments of lightness along the way.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Healing

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, sleep difficulties, and mood symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity, often used for trauma and related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, then adjusts methods over time so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats allow clients to engage from home or another convenient location and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes or busy periods. Licensed professionals guide the process and adapt interventions to suit remote delivery while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
