About Amy

Amy Myers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, relationship and family issues, and other life pressures. Sessions are offered in English and German and she accepts international clients.

Amy focuses on helping people recognize how patterns from their family of origin and early relationships still influence current choices and feelings. She uses straightforward conversation, practical skills, and reflective work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different options. Common topics include attachment concerns, codependency, abandonment, parenting strain, and grief.

Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people test and shift patterns of thought and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clarifying personal values and taking steps toward them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools.

Amy also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations about closeness and conflict. She encourages clear, simple experiments to try new ways of relating and coping. Work can include skill practice, reflecting on family roles, and planning small behavior changes.

To begin, readers complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. The first sessions focus on what matters most now and on selecting approaches that fit the person's goals.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and helping people take committed steps toward what matters. It is useful for people who feel stuck by worries or old habits and want a values-based direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing small changes to shift mood and reactions. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and many everyday difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations about closeness and conflict and helps people try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is often part of the first sessions. Amy will work collaboratively to decide which methods match the client's goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. That collaboration can include trying a few techniques and seeing what fits best.

Session format options are not specified here, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, or video sessions for face-to-face conversation. The practical aim is to help clients practice new skills in their daily routines and make small, manageable changes without major disruption.
