Amy Woodward, LPC, LCMHC - Therapist in Vermont

About Amy

Amy Woodward is a licensed therapist who offers care in Vermont and works with a wide range of concerns parents often face. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and family problems. Amy also helps people dealing with trauma, addiction, sleep difficulties, anger, and the effects of major life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and grounded. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to teach new ways of thinking and calmer responses to stress.

Background and approach

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people tolerate strong feelings and act in line with their values. Amy holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and the LCMHC credential - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

She has worked in the field for 11 years and has experience with issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring substance concerns. Work in sessions often looks like setting small, doable goals, practicing skills between meetings, and checking what is or isn’t helping. Techniques may include thought-challenging, mindfulness exercises, distress tolerance skills, and motivational interviewing to support change.

Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in several formats to fit a family’s routine. Information about cost and how to begin is provided through the start process on the platform.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT helps people break problems into steps and try small changes that add up.

She also incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy, which teaches how to accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. ACT can be useful for people facing chronic stress, life transitions, or persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust strategies over time if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible for busy families. These formats let people attend from home, fit therapy into school and work schedules, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what is needed. Many clients find that having multiple ways to communicate makes it easier to practice skills and stay on track between meetings.

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.
