About Amy
Amy Keller is a California LMFT with 31 years of clinical experience who helps people address self-esteem concerns and related struggles. She works with adults facing communication problems, questions about life purpose, and intense feelings of guilt or shame.
Amy uses a client-centered stance that focuses on each person's values and beliefs. Sessions are described as a place to be heard and to sort through what matters most. She helps people strengthen self-regard and build a kinder relationship with themselves.
Her background includes long experience supporting people with attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care histories, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation. She also works with those coping with codependency, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges.
Amy has supported people dealing with dissociation, feelings of emptiness, and personality concerns such as avoidant, dependent, and antisocial patterns. She also assists with aging and geriatric issues and with coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions focus on practical conversation and real-world steps rather than jargon. People are invited to talk through their priorities, try new ways of communicating, and practice small changes aimed at clearer thinking and steadier feelings.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work and are applied in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on strengthening self-esteem by identifying negative self-beliefs and practicing new, concrete behaviors that challenge those beliefs; this helps with confidence, decision-making, and reducing shame. Another approach addresses attachment and communication patterns by mapping how past relationships affect present interactions and trying small communication experiments to improve connection and boundaries.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with clients to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. That means trying things, checking how they land, and changing course when needed.
Confirm the session formats available before you book, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week - for example, it can reduce travel time, let someone have a shorter mid-day check-in, or allow sessions when relocating within the same state. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change, and Amy will discuss what format best fits your needs and routine.
