About Amie

Amie Roberts is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She has nine years of clinical experience and a Master’s degree in counseling. Her work often centers on relationship struggles, stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and identity-related issues.

She welcomes people who are exploring nontraditional relationship styles and sexual identities and speaks English. Amie brings a direct but warm presence to sessions. She listens closely and offers clear, plain feedback.

Background and approach

Her style aims to help people name what feels wrong, notice patterns, and try practical steps that can ease daily life. Her training includes cognitive behavioral tools that look at thoughts and behaviors, and acceptance-based strategies that focus on values and willingness. She also draws from client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals.

In a first conversation she will ask about the problem and what someone wants to change. Then she and the client map out small, realistic steps to practice between sessions. The emphasis is on building clearer choices rather than following a set script.

People often come for help after major life changes, during recovery from trauma, or when old ways of coping stop working. Amie aims to create a space where people can say what they’re struggling with and begin testing different ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and what they offer online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that stem from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood shifts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Deciding which approach fits best is often part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work together with the client to check goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online work can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other commitments and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions when needed. Many people find the variety of options makes it easier to stay engaged and try new skills between conversations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
