About Amie
Amie Bishop is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LCPC, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, practicing for 14 years and based in Florida. She lists areas she addresses such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also notes work with career concerns, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.
Her style is direct and nonjudgmental. She says she accepts people from alternative lifestyles and unusual situations. Sessions focus on clear goals, improving communication, and practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Amie draws on several therapy approaches rather than a single method. She uses client-centered ideas to shape how she listens and responds. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help with thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation.
She describes therapy as a team effort. Together with the client she sets goals and breaks them into manageable steps. That often means practicing new skills in everyday life and checking progress in subsequent sessions.
Her background includes working with professionals, parents, young adults, minorities, people affected by the criminal justice system, and people with substance use and addiction issues. She also documents experience with trauma from disasters and homelessness. This range informs how she adapts sessions to different life situations.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person in front of her. It focuses on respect, acceptance, and following the client’s lead to identify what matters most. This style helps with relationship issues, parenting concerns, and figuring out personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to change outcomes. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It suits people who need tools to manage strong emotions and reduce conflict in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking since the profile did not list formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy day. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or appointments outside typical office hours. Licensed professionals can use these arrangements to focus on clear goals, skill practice, and communication work that carry over into everyday life.
