About Amy
Amy Carlier is an Ohio LPCC with 12 years of professional experience. She has a background working in psychiatry at Cincinnati Children's Medical Center and lists stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence among her core concerns.
Amy spent 15 years focusing on raising her children and has recently returned to practice as her children are teenagers. She draws on her years in clinical settings to help people feeling stuck by persistent worry, low mood, or trouble managing strong emotions. She speaks plain language and keeps sessions direct and focused on practical change.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person. Amy works with issues linked to relationships and early family patterns, such as attachment and family of origin concerns. She also helps with eating and food-related issues, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
People in their late teens and twenties often come to Amy with pressures around starting work, school transitions, social anxiety, and questions about identity. She supports those navigating young adult issues and women’s concerns while addressing mood disorders and trauma-related symptoms.
Amy adapts conversation and goals to each person’s situation and preferences. She asks practical questions, suggests behavioral steps, and checks in on progress. To get started she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Amy notes use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques; two common approaches are cognitive-behavioral strategies and trauma-informed work. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-informed work pays attention to how past hurt affects feeling and behavior, and introduces paced coping skills for strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process means checking how interventions feel and changing direction when needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. Some people prefer not being on camera or need lower-bandwidth options; others like a full video conversation. Discussing these practical preferences is part of the first scheduling steps and helps shape how therapy fits into daily life.
