About Amy
Amy Crabtree is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, practical approach that looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where parents and families can talk about what matters most to them.
She spent 12 years as an outpatient therapist in community mental health settings. During that time she worked with people facing substance use concerns and many different diagnoses.
Background and approach
That background gave her experience helping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tension, and family challenges. In sessions she focuses on goals set by the client. She explains ideas clearly and helps people try new ways of thinking and behaving.
Expect a collaborative style where homework and practical steps are used between meetings. Amy completed requirements for her Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in 2012 and holds a master’s degree in social work. Her training and years in clinics guide a steady, experienced approach to common life struggles like grief, parenting stress, career questions, and coping with change.
She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. The work is aimed at helping people reduce distress and build useful skills for everyday life.
How CBT and online sessions fit family and parenting needs
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that come up in relationships and family life.She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client look at goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what is working. Finding the right approach is part of the work and adaptations are made to match each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to meet without travel and allow for more flexible times. Many people find that mixing live video with shorter chats or texts between meetings helps keep progress on track while balancing parenting and other responsibilities.
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.
