About Amy

Amy Roth is a licensed counselor who helps people who are struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, stress, grief, and major life changes. She works with individuals starting around age 15 and up. Amy keeps the conversation focused and practical so people can make small changes that matter to daily life.

She uses a person-centered stance that lets each session follow what matters most to the client. Amy also draws on attachment ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings about self, and she uses cognitive behavioral tools to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These approaches are mixed to fit each person rather than follow a rigid plan.

Amy earned a Master’s degree in Counseling and Human Resource Development from South Dakota State University in 2007. She holds LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and has worked in counseling for 15 years. That background includes work with trauma, mood disorders, and adjustment concerns.

In sessions she pays attention to what a person is facing right now and what practical steps feel doable. She addresses issues like attachment wounds, family of origin problems, communication struggles, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Amy also supports people dealing with gender dysphoria, bipolar symptoms, panic, and social anxiety.

She offers therapy in formats described in her biography; please confirm current session options when you book. Clients begin by identifying short-term goals together and then tracking small changes over time.

How Amy’s Approaches Work Online

Amy commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage mood and self esteem challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so sessions reflect what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior, offering concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.

Those approaches are used collaboratively. Amy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. The process is flexible so techniques can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

Her biography notes that she offers sessions in multiple formats; please confirm the current session options when booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. It can also let someone choose video or phone depending on whether they prefer to be on camera or keep things audio-only. Licensed professionals can adapt the techniques above for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track small changes over time.
