Background and approach

Clients work together with her to set realistic steps and track progress over time. With 14 years of experience, Ammie brings a grounded, experience-backed perspective to common and complex problems. Her work includes attention to trauma, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and co-occurring issues such as substance use and mood disorders.

She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, autism-related needs, and challenges tied to family of origin. Ammie combines Client-Centered Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tailor sessions to each person. She also draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches when they fit the situation.

The focus is on useful skills, clearer thinking, and practical coping strategies. Sessions are offered in English and provided through online formats. Ammie holds Texas licensure as LPC, TX LPC 71080, and bases her practice on respect, clear communication, and measurable steps toward clients' goals.

Online approaches that meet parenting and family needs

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens carefully and reflects what is most important to the client, which helps clarify feelings and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs empathy and steady support to sort through family and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches specific skills for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Many people find CBT helpful when they want concrete tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so plans can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work for tight schedules, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins and ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life while keeping the focus on practical, usable strategies.

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.

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.
