Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services from National-Louis University and a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago School of Social Work. She holds an Illinois LCSW and has worked across outpatient, inpatient, residential, and long-term rehabilitation settings.

In sessions she focuses on communication problems, control issues, self-love, forgiveness, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people addressing career stress, relationship difficulties, and changes after loss. Amelia emphasizes building practical skills so clients leave each session with clear, manageable steps.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and a coach-like partner for change. She aims to help clients find resilience, rebuild confidence, and move toward a more balanced life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building understanding so clients feel heard and respected; it helps people who need space to sort through emotions or make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms; it is useful for stress, negative self-talk, and problem-solving. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and next steps, which can be especially helpful when someone wants short-term, practical change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. That partnership makes it easier to find an approach that feels useful and sustainable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins, written exercises, or days when a shorter conversation is best. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
