About Amy

Amy Woodward is a licensed counselor with 11 years of experience who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She works with concerns related to self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, intimacy-related issues, addiction and substance use, career stress, sleeping difficulties, anger, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue, among other overlapping struggles. Located in Vermont, she brings a steady, strengths-oriented presence to help clients clarify values, build resilience, and find practical ways to navigate life changes.

Her practice blends several evidence-informed methods to create individualized care. Amy uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, and client-centered principles to maintain an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship.

Across sessions she aims to help people develop concrete coping skills and sustainable patterns of self-care while honoring each person's unique story and goals.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions; it can help people stuck in avoidance patterns or struggling with low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors by teaching skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and develop effective coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention training to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support clients dealing with trauma responses, anger, or sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and typically unfolds collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to evaluate goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit for each person's situation.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between meetings, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver evidence-informed interventions in a way that fits a client's routine and needs.
