About Amy

Amy Bragg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and trauma. Her style is warm and interactive, and she works alongside clients to find practical steps for everyday problems.

Amy draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused work, and mindfulness practices to shape each plan. She explains options in plain language and focuses on skills people can use between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions often include problem solving, skill practice, and simple strategies to manage mood or attention. She has five years of experience working primarily with victims of violence, loss, and trauma. That background informs her attention to safety, pacing, and coping skills for people recovering from difficult events.

Amy also supports people dealing with postpartum mood changes, seasonal affective disorder, and issues related to sexual assault and domestic violence. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client set goals and check progress together. Amy is trained in trauma-focused techniques and offers tools drawn from mindfulness to help with stress and focus.

She works with adults on concerns such as compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and young adult issues. Sessions are provided in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The therapy subscription can be canceled at any time and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

How Amy’s approaches work online

Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to support recovery after violence, assault, or other traumatic events. This approach focuses on improving safety, teaching coping skills, and gently processing memories or reactions at a pace the client finds manageable.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Amy discusses options, listens to each person’s needs, and adjusts methods as goals evolve. She helps clients weigh what feels right and tries tools in session to see what works in real life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or reminders between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
