Amy Svoboda , LPC

Amy Svoboda, LPC, brings 15 years of counseling experience to people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing parenting strain, grief, addiction, and issues related to LGBT identity. Amy practices in Texas and works with adults seeking clearer direction and healthier ways to cope.

Amy favors a straightforward, practical style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify what matters to them and small changes to try. Her work draws on familiar methods that focus on thoughts, values, and relationships rather than a single rigid technique.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients notice thoughts and take value-driven action. Attachment-based approaches inform work around closeness, boundaries, and patterns learned in families of origin.

Amy combines those methods with a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals central. That means she adapts sessions to what each person needs - whether longer exploration of trauma or shorter, skills-focused work for managing mood and anxiety.

Her background includes teaching psychology and directing clinical services, which she draws on when organizing a treatment plan. Amy has particular experience with chronic illness, body image, addiction, veterans and first responder concerns, and issues around abandonment and codependency.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform process.

Approach and online options that fit your life

Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns of closeness, boundaries, and trust that developed in family relationships. That approach can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time from skill-building to deeper exploration as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face connection and fuller conversation, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
