About Amie

Amie Berry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate stressful life seasons. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and the pressure of caregiving or work. Her background includes supporting couples and family dynamics as part of broader treatment for life changes and interpersonal concerns.

Her manner is warm and interactive. She listens with respect and adapts conversations to each person’s pace.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps - learning skills, practicing new responses, and finding clearer ways to communicate at home and work. Amie blends several approaches to suit what a person needs in the moment. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns, emotionally-focused ideas to help with attachment and closeness, and mindfulness to ground strong emotions.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want to shift habits or make life changes. Clients can expect a plan tailored to their goals, with specific exercises and real-world practice between meetings. Amie pays attention to family patterns, blended household challenges, divorce transitions, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and workplace stress when those issues are part of a person’s story.

Her experience in Georgia spans individual and relationship-focused work. She aims to meet people where they are and support steady next steps toward clearer priorities and healthier relationships.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and meeting the client where they are; it helps people feel understood and guides goal-setting through their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, test out techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This lets the work stay flexible and focused on real problems in daily life.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages for busy adults. Video calls let people preserve face-to-face connection while avoiding travel. Phone sessions provide an option when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and written reflections between sessions. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule, workday, or caregiving routine.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
