About Amy
Amy Sherman is a Florida LMHC with 21 years of clinical experience who helps people address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, communication problems, anger, and relationship concerns. She lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas and works with people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, and life changes. Amy uses practical, talk-based approaches to help clients build skills and clearer goals.
She earned a master's degree in counseling and psychology from Vermont College and has practiced as a licensed mental health counselor for more than two decades. Her background includes long experience in anger management and substance-related concerns, and she has supported people navigating midlife transitions and post-traumatic stress.
Amy draws on client-centered methods to make sessions collaborative, and she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates emotionally-focused work to address relationship patterns, hypnotherapy where appropriate, and mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment coping skills.
In a session she focuses on clear, practical steps: identifying small goals, trying new behaviors, and reviewing what works. Sessions emphasize skill practice and honest conversation rather than abstract theory.
People who come to her for social anxiety and phobia can expect a focus on measurable skills, exposure-based steps guided at a comfortable pace, and strategies for managing worry and avoidance. She encourages people to set realistic next steps and to track progress between meetings.
Amy asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn what a person most wants to address and begin planning next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the agenda. In online sessions this means the therapist follows what matters most to the person and checks in about goals and progress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors with practical exercises. Online CBT often uses short skill practices between sessions, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments to reduce avoidance and worry.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and reactions. In a remote format the therapist helps people notice emotional patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice interactions that feel different.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to know whether CBT, EFT, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, or a mix fits best.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It can also let someone practice skills in real-life settings between meetings while reviewing progress with the therapist.
