About Amy

Amy Hausman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Amy aims to make the first steps feel less daunting and to create a warm, down-to-earth space for honest conversation.

She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered methods. These guide how she helps people identify thoughts and habits that get in the way and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

She emphasizes collaboration and tailors techniques to each person’s needs and preferences. Amy has three years of clinical experience as an LPC and brings additional background in working with trauma, perinatal concerns, bipolar symptoms, and relationship-related issues. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with life changes, parenting stress, or lingering effects of trauma and loss.

Her experience includes supporting people through acute episodes and longer-term challenges. Sessions are intended to be approachable and grounded. Amy aims to balance practical tools with an easygoing style and a sense of humor when appropriate.

She encourages clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. If someone is unsure where to begin, Amy uses a short assessment to shape an initial plan. That plan is revisited regularly so the work stays relevant and responsive to changing needs.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as regular parts of her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions that match their values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. CBT helps identify common thinking patterns, test them, and build practical skills to reduce distress.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Amy recommends trying methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences and adjusts them based on progress and feedback. The process is collaborative - clients and the therapist set goals and pick techniques that feel useful for daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines and to continue work between appointments. They also let licensed professionals offer consistent care without needing travel, which can help people stay connected to therapy during life transitions.

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.

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.
