Amy Partlow , LCSW, CSW

Amy Partlow is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks English and French and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions. Amy emphasizes practical steps and clear communication so people feel heard and guided from the first meeting.

Amy uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness strategies to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Sessions focus on doable skills - small behavior changes, thought shifts, and values-based goals that fit daily life.

She also pays attention to attachment patterns and caregiver stress. That means talking through how past relationships affect current reactions and finding ways to reduce burnout and isolation. The work often includes improving communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding self-trust.

For people dealing with trauma, panic, or shame, Amy draws on trauma-informed approaches and paced exposure to reduce overwhelm. She helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and track progress along the way.

Amy has a calm, direct style and aims to create an affirming space for women and other clients concerned with gender-related pressures. Her practice centers on helping people develop self-love, repair relationships with themselves, and live by values that matter to them.

How Amy's Methods Work Online

Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy works together with clients to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what’s working and adapts plans so the work stays useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and learning new skills. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.
