About Amy

Amy Spallinger is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana who draws on 22 years of professional experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around the client’s own strengths and life story, encouraging clients to build on what already works while addressing patterns that cause distress. Her background includes work with mood disorders, panic, phobias, and post-traumatic stress, and she offers approaches that fit each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Her practice also attends to concerns such as body image, communication and control issues, family of origin dynamics, fertility and end-of-life matters, guilt and shame, and vocational or life-purpose questions. Amy uses techniques from cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused therapies alongside mindfulness, narrative, and solution-focused methods to help clients develop practical skills, reframe difficult memories, and set achievable goals.

She invites prospective clients to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports them through the matching and scheduling steps to get started.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build coping skills for everyday stressors. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and sensations, which can help with emotional regulation and stress reduction. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating traumatic experiences with strategies to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns to determine which methods or combination of methods are the best fit for their situation. This shared decision making helps tailor sessions to what matters most for progress and comfort.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and the ability to connect from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to choose how they communicate based on convenience and comfort while maintaining continuity of care across changing life demands.
