Amy Flores , LCSW

Amy Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She brings five years of clinical therapy experience and a decade of background working with behavioral and social-emotional challenges. Amy focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk through the issues that brought them to therapy.

She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. Amy also helps with ADHD, self-esteem, grief, anger, career concerns, and relationship struggles. Her practice includes concerns important to women such as parenting, family conflict, and life transitions.

Amy favors a client-centered, strengths-based approach. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking patterns, and strategies to manage intense feelings.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals and tracks progress together. Amy aims to make each session useful and understandable, with simple steps people can use between meetings.

People who choose her often want straightforward support for everyday problems and emotional ups and downs. She emphasizes building trust, restoring confidence, and finding workable ways forward. Amy intends to help clients reconnect with their strengths and move toward the changes they want.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions fit together

Amy uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. That approach centers on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and supporting their own goals and choices. It can help people feel heard and rebuild confidence.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers practical exercises and tools that people can use between sessions to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when intense emotions or relationship patterns cause repeated problems; DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Plans get adjusted over time based on what is helping and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation and let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact for skill practice, progress updates, or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or daily routines.
