About Amy

Amy White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of field experience and over four years in private clinical practice. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, and related concerns. She also works with people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting and career stress, ADHD, and other life changes.

Amy uses an individual-focused approach that centers on the client's goals and preferences. Sessions are built around clear strategies rather than jargon. She talks through thoughts and behaviors with clients and introduces practical skills to manage intense emotions and difficult situations. Amy emphasizes concrete tools that can be practiced between sessions.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are included when they fit the client’s needs. Motivational interviewing informs conversations about change and readiness.

Amy holds an MS and the LCSW credential. She practices in Florida and accepts international clients. Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be canceled at any time, with fees varying by location. Prospective clients use a short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial meeting.

People who are uncomfortable in social situations or who find speaking up difficult can expect straightforward, paced work that focuses on specific goals. Amy encourages small, manageable steps and helps clients build skills to handle social fears, avoidance, and related stressors.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early or current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior, which can help with trust, boundaries, and communication issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises that often include short homework between sessions.

She also integrates mindfulness and DBT skills when helpful. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily states without reacting immediately, which can reduce the intensity of anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing strong feelings and urges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Early sessions focus on practical problems and preferred ways of working rather than fixed labels.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let clients use quiet moments for brief check-ins or focused skill practice. Some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins or workbook-style homework that can be reviewed in later sessions.
