About Amy
Amy Brant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, depression, parenting strain, grief, addiction, trauma and related problems. Amy also works with issues such as anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She began her career in 1998 as a teacher for students with special needs and as a public school guidance counselor. Those roles shaped her belief that family patterns and early experiences influence decisions and behavior later in life. In 2011 she completed her LMFT credential and moved into couple and family work.
Amy uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Attachment-based ideas also inform how she looks at relationship patterns and family dynamics.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical. She might focus on brief, solution-oriented work for some concerns and a more educational, step-by-step approach for others. Amy listens, helps people name patterns that cause trouble, and offers strategies to try between sessions.
Her additional areas of focus include attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and codependency. People who want help with abandonment worries, dissociation, or disruptive mood patterns may also find a fit.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Amy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that feed distress and to practice different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stresses because it breaks problems into concrete steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice is guided by the presenting concern, how someone responds to early sessions, and their personal priorities.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, require less travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with her about what you need and she will help shape a plan that fits your routine.
