I only had one session with her, but I am very confident in her abilities and she inspires confidence via her determined sense of momentum. She acts like a problem solver, which is what I wanted in a counselor.
More about Amy
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the great state of Louisiana. I have over 20 years of experience with a wide variety of individuals experiencing a diverse set of challenges. Most recently I have been focusing on those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and trying to navigate life in general.
I come from a client centered approach where I use my skills in DBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy and CBT to empower the individual and assist in fostering skills and strategies not only to deal with the current struggle but future hurdles as well. I believe in creating an environment that fosters a sense of safety, self worth and dignity.
The first step has already been taken by visiting this site. I hope you will allow me to accompany you on your continued journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Amy is wonderful!
I only had one session with her, but I am very confident in her abilities and she inspires confidence via her determined sense of momentum. She acts like a problem solver, which is what I wanted in a counselor.
Amy is very patient and kind and she lets me talk and express myself openly. I feel that I can trust her and that she is looking out for my best interests - that is so important to me in a therapist!
She’s simply the best!
Amy was very helpful to me.
She’s amazing person and really helpful! She’s one of the best. She gave me great advice and I was able to overcome my situation and make me a better person!
Amy has been just wonderful. Responds to messages, gives great feedback and advice. I look forward to continuing with her
Amy is such a good listener and understands what I'm going through. She's very thoughtful and is a joy to talk to. After each session, I begin to feel better and I'm so glad we matched on betterhelp.
Amy is a wonderful therapist - I highly recommend her to anyone who is skeptical about online or phone therapy. She take the time to talk with me and gets me thinking about things I would not have thought of myself. She is very patient with me as she knows I am not always letting my guard down and discussing items with her, but she asks great questions and is always so helpful.
I like working with Amy. She is very professional
Amy is very kind and patient person. She has a grounded approach to therapy. She made me feel right at home right away. Sometimes it’s hard to open up to a therapist, but she made me feel safe to do so. She has made small and helpful suggestions to tweak my mindset to help me with troubles with my family and personal life. I highly recommend!
Amazing, better than I ever expected and she’s quick with responses and on chat. Can’t say enough nice things about her. 11/10
