About Amy
Amy McKinney is a clinical psychologist (WY Psychologist 607) with ten years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, and related concerns such as sleep problems and addiction. Amy’s background includes treating service members in the military, and she draws on that experience when helping people who’ve faced high-stress or traumatic events.
She helps people shift how they see themselves so they can focus more on the present. That often means practicing new ways to respond to distress and learning skills for everyday situations. Sessions move at a steady, practical pace with clear tools to try between meetings.
Amy uses a mix of well-known therapies, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR for trauma processing. She combines those approaches with a client-centered stance, aiming to listen first and build on what each person already does well.
Her work covers many life areas: relationships, parenting, career questions, mood disorders, ADHD, and issues tied to adoption or blended families. She also supports people dealing with substance use, first responder stress, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English and carried out from her Wyoming practice. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How Amy uses specific approaches online
Amy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see if they help. CBT can be useful for social anxiety, worry, low mood, and sleep problems.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that matter to them. ACT supports coping with anxiety, life changes, and long-term stress. For trauma-related concerns, Amy may use EMDR, a method that aims to reduce the intensity of difficult memories and feelings through structured processing.
Figuring out the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.
