Amy Roth , LPC-MH, LMHC

Amy Roth is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She works with individuals starting around age 15 and focuses on what each person needs in the moment. Amy is straightforward and practical in sessions, aiming to make therapy useful from the first meetings.

Amy holds a Master’s in Counseling and Human Resource Development from South Dakota State University and carries the credentials LPC-MH and LMHC. She has practiced for 15 years in South Dakota and has worked with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, panic, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her background gives her experience with both short-term goals and longer-term treatment plans.

In sessions she listens first, then helps clients pick skills that fit their daily life. She uses approaches rooted in attachment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness, among others. Amy aims to tailor each plan to the person rather than use a one-size-fits-all method.

She offers multiple online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can choose what fits their schedule. This range makes it easier to keep up with regular check-ins and practice new skills between sessions.

Amy also supports people dealing with identity and relationship questions, including LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria. Her work includes family of origin issues, communication problems, self-esteem, and finding life purpose. She focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day.

How Amy's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Amy draws on attachment-based work to help people understand patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current stress and closeness. This approach can be useful for relationship problems, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT often helps with anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then combine techniques that match those needs in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy into busy lives. Video allows a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and try skills in day-to-day settings.
