About Amy Thomas

Amy Thomas, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience supporting people through trauma, identity questions, relationship challenges, and mood difficulties. She combines empathy with practical strategies to help clients build resilience, manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, and navigate complex family and intimacy-related issues. Drawing on a broad clinical toolkit, she adapts interventions to each person - integrating attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, trauma-focused methods, and elements of narrative and motivational interviewing.

Amy works with a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended-family dynamics, self-esteem and body-image struggles, ADHD, stress, addictions, eating and food-related issues, and intimacy-related or relationship problems. She also addresses related areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment difficulties, BDSM and kink-related concerns, first responder issues, and challenges around guilt, shame, and impulsivity. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and tailoring the pace and techniques to each person s needs.

Outside of her professional work, she enjoys riding horses, reading, and painting. Amy brings that same steady presence and commitment to growth into the therapeutic relationship, guiding people as they work toward greater emotional balance and healthier connections.

Could remote therapy work for you?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a range of common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be effective and can offer outcomes comparable to traditional in-person work.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that fits their life best - video sessions, phone consultations, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to attend regularly and maintain momentum between sessions. That flexibility can help therapy fit around work, family, and other responsibilities rather than requiring major schedule changes.

Licensed professionals offer these remote options while tailoring therapeutic methods to each person s goals and preferences. If the fit between a client and a therapist doesn t feel right, it is generally possible to switch to another therapist who may be a better match, helping people find the support they need in a way that works for them.
