About Amy

Amy Phelps is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and struggles with addiction and eating. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help people identify what matters most to them and what to try next.

Amy draws on about 18 years of clinical experience and a background in clinical supervision. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

Background and approach

She helps people set small, usable goals and practices skills between sessions rather than relying on long lectures or abstract theory. Her work incorporates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas when they fit the person’s needs.

Treatment is adapted to the problem at hand rather than following a single formula. Amy’s own recovery and years supervising other clinicians inform how she coaches and guides people through change. She emphasizes honest communication, personal responsibility, and practical steps toward stability.

Her voice tends to be nurturing but direct when needed. People who want clear guidance, concrete strategies, and a collaborative plan often find her approach helpful. She supports a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting issues, ADHD, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related struggles.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through multiple formats.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Amy draws from several practical, evidence-based therapies to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match your situation, and adjust over time. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan fits your needs rather than forcing one single model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions give a simple audio option, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or skill practice between meetings. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity, try new skills in real life, and fit therapy into daily life.

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.
