About Amy

Amy Powers is an LPC with 17 years of clinical experience who centers her work on evidence-informed approaches that help people manage stress, mood symptoms, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills, while also integrating client-centered and mindfulness practices to keep sessions grounded in each person’s values and experience. Her background includes training in trauma-focused approaches to address abuse, neglect, and post-traumatic stress.

Powers has supported clients facing a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, and ADHD. She also addresses issues such as attachment and blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and communication problems.

Her style blends warmth and respect with direct, goal-oriented work so treatment plans are tailored to what each person needs. Clients can expect an approachable clinician who emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional processing.

Located in South Carolina, she works in English and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore their goals and values; this approach supports self-exploration and guides collaborative treatment planning. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the clinician treats selection as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt techniques and strategies so therapy remains responsive and results-oriented. Flexibility in methods helps tailor work to what’s most helpful for each person.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes treatment more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives. These formats allow consistent contact for skill practice, check-ins, and focused sessions without the need for in-person travel, supporting continuity of care and convenience for people balancing multiple responsibilities.
