About Amargo
Amargo Crenshaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and mood challenges. Her approach is warm and direct, and she aims to create an inviting space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
She builds a plan from practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address current problems.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals and skills you can use between meetings. She emphasizes strengths and collaboration when setting those goals. Amargo pays attention to relationship patterns and family dynamics.
She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior cycles, and then practices new ways of responding. For parents and caregivers this often means working on communication, boundaries, and coping strategies for stressful moments. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy for people affected by past harm or pressing life problems.
Those approaches combine looking at history when needed and focusing on practical next steps to improve daily functioning. Amargo communicates in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with license number GA LPC LPC010389.
Approaches and how online therapy works
Amargo commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what is already working, making it helpful for pressing family and parenting problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those priorities. Adjustments are made as the relationship develops so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy makes these methods easy to access from different places. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work for quick or personal check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can support brief coaching and reminders between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy family schedules and for people who travel or live outside a therapist's local area.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
