About Amy
Amy Klein is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of clinical practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and related concerns such as parenting, self-esteem, and ADHD.
Amy uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles. She also draws on Jungian-informed reflection and client-centered listening to help people notice patterns and make different choices.
Her background includes a broad range of settings. Amy began in community work at a YWCA, provided in-home family therapy connected to child protective services, served in the Peace Corps in Jamaica, and later worked in tribal programs, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and a medical clinic. That variety shaped how she practices and how she responds to different life situations.
Amy brings some complementary practices into her therapeutic style. She teaches yoga, practices Reiki, and uses storytelling, art, music, and philosophy alongside clinical tools. She says these elements can help people reconnect with what she calls their inner compass.

How ACT, CBT and mindfulness translate to online work
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. ACT focuses on values and small steps rather than trying to eliminate feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into smaller parts so they can be changed through practice and reflection. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and habit change. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills that reduce reactivity and support stress management; these can include short in-session exercises and homework practices.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will discuss what methods feel useful and practical based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift over time as progress or new priorities emerge.
The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady progress through regular, scheduled meetings. Licensed professionals often blend talking, brief in-session exercises, and at-home practices to keep momentum between appointments.
