About Amy
Amy Thomas, LCSW, is licensed in Texas and Idaho and has nine years of clinical experience. She works on trauma, mood concerns, relationship and identity issues, and stress and anxiety using approaches she describes as attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and the Gottman Method.
Amy frames therapy around helping people understand patterns from their past and how those patterns show up now. She uses direct conversation and practical techniques drawn from several approaches to help people notice thoughts and reactions, try different behaviors, and build coping skills. Sessions focus on concrete steps as well as exploring relationship dynamics and identity concerns.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced abuse and trauma, plus those managing mood disorders, attention differences, eating issues, and problems with intimacy and relationships. She also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, body image, and questions around gender and sexuality.
Amy uses elements from cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior strategies to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and the Gottman Method for addressing relationship communication and conflict when appropriate.
She asks people to start by completing a brief questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Fees vary by location and services operate through a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How Amy uses attachment, CBT, and DBT online
Amy integrates attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and emotional responses. This approach helps people notice recurring relationship patterns and practice different ways of relating.She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete steps to change thoughts and actions that maintain anxiety, depression, or eating concerns.
Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That planning can include mixing techniques from different approaches based on progress and feedback.
