Amy Creason, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Amy

Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on creating a practical, client-led therapy experience. She uses clear, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD-related challenges, relationship and family concerns, and parenting issues. Amy keeps conversations direct and collaborative so parents can get usable strategies quickly.

She earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and completed a post-master's veteran behavioral health certificate.

Background and approach

Amy has worked in clinical settings for 10 years and has supported people facing mood disorders, substance use concerns, anger, family conflict, crisis situations, and those pursuing mental health optimization. Amy aims to form a partnership with each person she sees. She listens without judgment and helps set clear, achievable goals.

Sessions mix skill-building for coping with day-to-day problems and deeper talk work about patterns and values. Her work draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices. She chooses tools that fit each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Amy practices in Missouri as an LPC and offers sessions in English. She guides people through practical steps for parenting, family issues, grief, trauma, career transitions, and coping with major life changes. The focus is on small, steady changes that make daily life more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT is useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She may blend methods and adjust the plan as progress or circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets people fit therapy into busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to access regular check-ins, practice new skills between sessions, and keep momentum during life transitions. The options give flexibility so parents and caregivers can get support in ways that suit their routines.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
