About Amy
Amy Brant is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical help for everyday family and parenting concerns. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, parenting issues, grief, addiction, and life transitions. Her approach aims to make small changes that improve daily life and family dynamics.
She began her career in 1998 teaching students with special needs and later worked as a public school guidance counselor.
Background and approach
Those early roles shaped her belief that past experiences and family patterns matter in how adults cope today. In 2011 she earned her LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Therapy with Amy is flexible and based on what the person needs.
Some people respond well to short, solution-focused work. Others need slower, collaborative sessions that include education about patterns and skills. Her toolbox includes several well-known methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and approaches that focus on emotions and attachment.
She aims to listen, reflect, and offer clear strategies people can try between sessions. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage day-to-day problems and plan healthier ways forward. The emphasis is on practical steps, empathy, and helping each person find what works for them.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with relationship stress and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time depending on what is helping and what is not.
Online therapy with her can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and to continue work between appointments. The variety of formats also allows for shorter check-ins or longer sessions based on what a person needs.
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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
