About Amy
Amy Carlier is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and confidence among the concerns she helps people with. Sessions are offered in English and she is based in Ohio.
Carlier previously worked in psychiatry at Cincinnati Children's Medical Center across multiple levels of care. After a period focused on raising her children, she returned to professional work while maintaining an emphasis on practical support. She describes helping people with motivation, managing difficult emotions, and improving self-confidence.
In sessions she adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. That means talking through what feels most pressing, trying small changes, and checking what helps. She aims to be respectful and sensitive when discussing pain from trauma, shame, or difficult family dynamics.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused conversations about feelings, behavior, and coping skills. Work may include practice of new ways to respond to stress, exercises to build confidence, and steps to manage anger or intense anxiety. She also addresses issues tied to relationships, eating and food-related concerns, and questions young adults and women commonly face.
Her background in a hospital psychiatry setting means familiarity with complex cases and a pace that fits different needs. People interested in starting are asked to use the online pathway to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based approaches are used in straightforward, practical ways. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new responses; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and social fears by breaking problems into manageable steps. Exposure-based ideas involve facing feared situations in gradual, planned steps to reduce avoidance and increase confidence. These methods are commonly paired with skills training such as breathing, grounding, and behavioral experiments to manage strong emotions or anger.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the client's comfort level, and adjust plans based on what works. That means checking in together and changing pace or focus when needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by saving travel time, enabling shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoiding the need to be in a specific office. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to phone or video sessions when those formats are available, and sessions can be arranged to match a client's routine and practical needs.
