About Amy

Amy Roth is an LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health) in South Dakota and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and older adolescents on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes. Amy lists family of origin issues among her focus areas and often addresses attachment and communication patterns that come from childhood relationships.

Amy uses plain, direct conversation to identify what is most pressing for each person. She asks about current struggles, goals for therapy, and what has or hasn't worked before. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and ways to manage mood and anxiety in day-to-day life.

Her background includes a Master’s in Counseling and Human Resource Development from South Dakota State University. Over 15 years she has worked with a broad range of concerns including trauma and mood disorders. That experience informs how she helps people understand patterns linked to their family of origin and current relationships.

In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered work to build understanding of relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to address thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and impulsivity. Mindfulness techniques are introduced for stress and emotion management.

Amy is straightforward about planning sessions around what an individual needs in the moment. She encourages clear goals and collaborative decisions about strategies. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches are used online

Amy combines relational and skills-based approaches in online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and helps people notice how early connections affect current feelings and interactions. This can be useful when family of origin issues shape how someone relates to partners or children. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s perspective, allowing them to set goals and lead what feels most important in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try small, practical changes to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Amy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what techniques feel useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person’s needs and pace.

The original biography notes video, live chat, and phone as offered session types. If you want to work online, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which format is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone choose to use or avoid video based on what works for them.
