About Amy

Amy Sherman is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 21 years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, and self-esteem. She works with adults who are managing life changes, difficult relationships, and the hard practical parts of parenting.

Her approach combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas. That means sessions often start by listening to what matters most, then trying concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy in ways the client and she agree on.

Amy focuses on clear communication and skill-building. She helps people name triggers, practice calmer responses, and rebuild trust in day-to-day interactions. For parenting concerns she helps individuals manage stress tied to caregiving and improve how they talk about limits, routines, and discipline.

She brings long experience with addiction, domestic violence, and midlife transitions. In practice this looks like structured conversations, short exercises to practice between sessions, and check-ins about progress toward practical goals. She uses plain language and step-by-step plans rather than jargon.

People who want straightforward, goal-focused work will find a steady, experienced counselor. If someone needs to know the exact session formats offered now, they should confirm current options before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Amy uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on what the client brings. That means she starts by listening and shaping goals around the person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving, which helps with anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas guide conversations about important relationships and emotional patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process; adjustments are made as progress and feedback show what helps most.

The original biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Keep in mind that online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when necessary, and remove commute time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to match therapy to everyday schedules and responsibilities.
