More about Amy
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hi, I'm glad you're here! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey for 15 years and have over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life's challenges. I work with clients ages 10 and up, treating a wide range of mental health concerns including OCD, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, family conflict, parenting struggles, women's issues, and major life transitions. My specialty is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that gives you practical tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and build lasting change. I'm especially passionate about working with young adults, those who identify as LGBTQ+, and anyone facing divorce or relationship challenges. I am a neurodivergent-affirming therapist and welcome any clients who have ADHD and/or autism. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely comfortable, so my style is warm, casual, accepting--and I like to infuse humor whenever I can because healing doesn't have to feel heavy all the time. You bring the courage to show up; I'll bring the expertise, the tools, and a space where you can be completely yourself.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
