Amy Seligson, LPC - Therapist in Colorado

About Amy

Amy Seligson followed a long-held ambition to become a therapist after experiencing the positive effects of counseling early in life. She earned a Master in Counseling from Wayne State University and later obtained her Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. Amy's own experience with therapy shaped her decision to help others find clearer paths through hard times.

She has worked in roles that include special education teacher and school counselor. Those positions gave her practical experience supporting parents and young people as they navigated change and stress.

Background and approach

Amy uses that background when she talks with people about parenting challenges and relationship stress. In sessions she focuses on straightforward, useful strategies and careful listening. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage anxiety, mood struggles, and addictive behaviors.

She also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or self-worth are central concerns. Amy pays attention to the practical parts of life that affect mental health. She helps people name patterns, try small changes, and build routines that feel manageable.

Areas she commonly addresses include parenting strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, depression, ADHD, and substance use concerns. People who connect well with Amy tend to want a direct, empathetic clinician who offers tools and real-world steps.

She works with English-speaking clients in Colorado and combines her teaching and counseling experience to offer clear guidance and support tailored to each person's situation.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical skills

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them feel understood and guiding conversations at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for people struggling with strong mood swings or self-regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts methods over time so the work matches real-life needs and priorities, rather than sticking to a single method no matter what.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation from home, while chat and messaging give ongoing access to support between meetings. This flexibility helps people maintain continuity of care around parenting duties, work schedules, and other responsibilities.

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.
