Amy Kilgore , LPC

Amy Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She brings a personal commitment to healing and a calm presence to sessions. Amy combines practical strategies with attentive listening to help people manage hard moments and find clearer choices.

She often helps people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and challenges with addiction. Amy also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating-related struggles, and the strain of parenting. Her background includes work with mood and personality concerns and with issues related to attachment and abandonment.

Amy uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build values-based action, and Attachment-Based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Amy describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative and respects each person’s story while offering direct tools for coping and change.

Her practice notes that subscription billing is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability via the Start Therapy button.

Amy frames therapy as a partnership. She aims to create space for practical steps, steady support, and clearer direction during life’s transitions.

Approaches that guide online care

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes small experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clarify personal values and encourages actions that align with those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and living through big life changes.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on behavior change, deeper attachment patterns, or trauma processing, and can adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills work and deep processing. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
