About Amy
Amy Klein is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, and career-related stress. Amy also lists support for ADHD, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Her career began in community social work and expanded into clinical roles after completing a Bachelor of Social Work at Wayne State University and an MSW from Western Michigan University. She has provided individual, group, and family therapy in a variety of settings, including in-home family programs, school systems, a medical clinic, work with a Native tribe, and a medium-security prison. She also served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kingston, Jamaica.
Amy draws on a mix of clinical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices. Sessions may include conversational therapy, practical CBT skills, mindfulness exercises, and storytelling to help clients identify values and small actionable steps.
Outside of formal clinical work she teaches yoga, practices Reiki, and engages with Native Tradition, and she sometimes integrates breathing and movement practices alongside talk therapy. Her background in community and clinical settings informs a practical, experience-based style.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options and scheduling details.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit well to remote sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions; online sessions can help people notice what matters and plan steps that fit everyday life. CBT offers concrete skills for managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as activity scheduling and thought records that are easy to work through in a video or phone appointment.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and collaboration. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will check in about goals and preferences and help pick approaches that suit each person’s needs and lifestyle.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and commuting by reducing travel. They also allow practice of techniques in the settings where problems occur, and shorter check-ins can be used when a full session isn’t needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT homework to an online setting to keep therapy practical and usable.
