Amy Phelps, LPC

Amy Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating concerns, addictions, and relationship or intimacy issues. Her approach also includes support for parenting strain, sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Amy blends practical tools with a warm, direct style. Sessions focus on real skills you can use between meetings. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative so clients can set and meet clear goals.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, dialectical behavior skills, and client-centered care. She adapts techniques to each person rather than relying on a single method.

Amy also brings long-term clinical leadership experience. That background informs how she builds treatment plans and mentors others. She describes her role as guiding people toward self-discovery while balancing respect and honesty.

Her personal recovery journey and lived experience inform her understanding of addiction and relapse prevention. Amy says that those experiences help her relate to clients who are working to build lasting change. She emphasizes transparency and accountability as part of recovery and growth.

Sessions are offered from Oklahoma and conducted in English. Amy uses a mix of evidence-based strategies and practical coaching to help people cope with life changes, attachment concerns, body image struggles, codependency, and related challenges.

How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors with practical exercises. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought logs, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. In teletherapy this looks like mindfulness exercises, values clarification, and small behavioral experiments you can practice between sessions.

Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and emotional bonds. Through conversation and reflection, clients learn how early relationship styles show up now and practice new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match their needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical convenience. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into busy days. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, brief coaching, or extra support between scheduled sessions.
