About Amy

Amy Myers is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns that show up in daily life. Her approach respects each person’s story and builds on existing strengths.

She communicates plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone. In sessions she listens first and helps clients name what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She blends practical tools and reflection so people can try new ways of coping between meetings. Common topics she addresses include parenting questions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, addiction, and mood challenges like bipolar disorder. Amy uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and supports growth. She works in English and German and meets with people from Colorado and beyond.

Sessions can be scheduled in different formats to fit busy lives. Practical steps, direct communication, and steady encouragement are the hallmarks of her work. Letting someone else hold a concern can feel odd at first.

Amy focuses on small, useful changes and on strengthening what already works in a family’s life.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how they feel. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life even when hard feelings remain.

She treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. Early sessions explore goals, current challenges, and what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist pick methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences, and they adjust the plan as work progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging lets therapy fit into busy family schedules and varied routines. These formats make it easier to keep momentum between meetings and to use skills in real time. Licensed professionals can still teach tools, practice conversations, and track progress across different communication methods, while remaining responsive to each person’s pace and comfort.

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.
