Amy Murray , LCSW

Amy Murray is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She approaches therapy with a practical focus and clear tools to help clients build coping skills and increase confidence.

She draws on mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small goals and make manageable changes. Amy also brings breath work and gentle movement drawn from yoga, and narrative work to help people make sense of their personal story.

Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, inner dialogue, bodily responses, and relationship patterns. That work helps people see why they react a certain way and try different coping strategies. The therapist encourages clients to use their own strengths while learning new ways to handle life stressors.

Amy pays attention to issues that commonly affect women and supports people working on self-love, forgiveness, guilt, and communication problems. She also helps with motivation and adjusting to life changes.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She guides practical steps you can try between sessions and helps you track what works. Taking that first step is recognized as an act of courage and she aims to make the process steady and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Amy commonly uses mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice automatic thoughts and test new reactions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it links thoughts to feelings and actions in clear steps.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete, short-term goals and build momentum. Those methods help when you want quick, practical changes and clearer steps for daily life. Narrative techniques are employed to reframe personal stories so difficult experiences feel more manageable and less defining.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what helps. That makes therapy a team effort, with adjustments over time based on what produces progress.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins, and messaging fits ongoing support or quick reflections between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit sessions into work, family, or travel schedules.
