Amie Roberts , LMHC

Amie Roberts is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington with nine years of clinical experience. She draws on a mix of practical tools and direct listening to help people facing relationship strain, mood struggles, and big life changes. Her work often addresses concerns important to women and to LGBT people, including intimacy, body image, and sexuality.

Roberts trained in counseling after earning a bachelor’s degree in Spanish literature and then a master’s degree in counseling. She blends evidence-based techniques with a grounded, person-focused approach. Sessions tend to be warm but straightforward, with an emphasis on finding what actually helps in daily life.

Common topics she supports include anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and communication or commitment issues. She also works with people navigating kink, BDSM, and alternative sexual cultures without judgment. Practical skills are paired with space to talk about meaning and identity.

Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based methods to notice what matters most. She also uses client-centered and Jungian perspectives to honor a person’s story and inner life. Work with her usually mixes talking, skill practice, and real-world steps between sessions.

People who prefer a direct yet empathetic clinician may find a good fit. She aims to help clients discover their own answers and take manageable next steps toward clearer thinking, steadier mood, and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and value-driven changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and unhelpful habits.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This makes it easier to blend skills-based work with deeper conversation about identity, relationships, and meaning.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is a good option for longer conversations and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is difficult, and chat or text is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
