About Amie

Amie Bishop is a licensed counselor who brings 14 years of clinical practice to her work. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and works from Florida. Amie presents herself as open-minded and nonjudgmental.

She aims to create a steady, calm space where people can talk through tough things and find practical steps forward. Amie uses a mix of established methods rather than relying on one single style. She adapts tools to fit each person's situation.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting realistic goals, and building everyday skills for managing stress, anxiety, or mood shifts. Many areas appear in her practice, including relationships, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses chronic illness, cancer, sleep problems, and challenges such as codependency or communication problems.

The scope includes work around LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes. Her approach is practical and collaborative. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, problem-solving, and skill-building drawn from therapies like cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused work, and mindfulness-informed practices.

Amie often helps people break large problems into smaller, doable steps. Sessions are available in several online formats, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients may connect in English.

Practical details such as scheduling and cost follow the platform subscription model and vary by location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a respectful space. It helps people feel understood and supports exploration of values, goals, and what matters most in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and short-term tools to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who need concrete strategies to handle strong feelings and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal style, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. Decisions are made collaboratively and adjusted as needed over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and continued contact between meetings when needed. Many people find online options reduce travel time and help them keep therapy consistent during life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
