Amy Nevells , LPC

Amy Nevells is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. She also supports individuals dealing with trauma, anger, and issues related to women's health and caregiving.

Amy focuses on building a calm, open space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. She encourages small, practical steps that fit each person's life. Sessions combine active listening with strategies that aim to reduce immediate distress and build long-term skills.

Her background includes work with people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, first responder and veteran concerns, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence. That experience informs a steady, paced approach to healing after trauma. Amy pays attention to how physical health, sleep, and daily routines affect mood and coping.

Therapy often uses short-term goal setting and tools people can use between sessions. Techniques include thought-focused strategies, mindful awareness practices, and motivational conversations to help clarify values and next steps. These methods are offered in ways that match a person's pace and preference.

Amy offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People interested in starting can complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to fit their schedules.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills to try between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness and breathing practices that lower stress and improve focus. Mindfulness can be helpful for coping with intense feelings and building steady day-to-day routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face when a deeper conversation helps, phone sessions can be easier with limited bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it simpler to fit care around work, caregiving, or health needs while using approaches that focus on real-life skills and coping.
