About Amy
Amy Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and family concerns, and parenting struggles. Sessions are grounded in her stated worldview and therapeutic approaches. Amy uses methods such as ACT, attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, CBT, and EMDR to guide her practice.
Amy frames many mental health problems as connected to unresolved grief and fear. She leans on practical, talk-based methods and trauma-focused tools when those issues come up. That can look like focusing on thoughts and behaviors in some weeks, and using attachment-focused conversations in others.
She often supports people dealing with eating and intimacy-related difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence. She also notes experience with mood conditions such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
Amy mentions work with adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, abandonment, and the challenges that can arise when autism or avoidant personality patterns are present. She names compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and coping with life changes among common topics she addresses.
Her style emphasizes the client's perspective and collaborative planning. People can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations that match approach to need. To begin, follow the platform steps to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy often blends cognitive behavioral methods with attachment-informed conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and some mood and eating concerns and usually involves short exercises and practical goal setting.She also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions, which focus on how relationships shape responses to stress and closeness. That approach can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, codependency, and parenting concerns by looking at patterns in relationships and how they developed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy plans sessions with each person, using their goals and preferences to decide whether CBT, attachment work, EMDR, or other methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
The therapist's original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt activities, worksheets, and EMDR-informed protocols for remote meetings so the work can continue even when schedules are tight.
