About Amy
Amy Boggs is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Sessions include practical skills for coping and managing strong emotions.
She uses a straightforward CBT approach that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. Conversations focus on clear steps and small experiments to reduce reactive responses and improve day-to-day functioning. Practical tools are offered for workplace stress, parenting strain, and managing frustration that shows up at home.
Amy integrates attention to faith when clients want that included and respects personal beliefs as part of care. She also has experience supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiving burdens, adoption and foster care concerns, and end-of-life planning. That background influences how she helps people balance practical needs with emotional adjustment.
Sessions look at patterns that fuel resentment, control struggles, or withdrawal. Amy works to break negative cycles by teaching coping strategies, communication practices, and thought-challenging techniques. These methods aim to reduce impulsive reactions and build steadier responses over time.
People who come for help with anger often also address related issues such as guilt, shame, or family-of-origin patterns. Amy spends time clarifying goals, planning manageable steps, and checking progress. Her style is direct and results-oriented while remaining respectful of each person’s values and faith when relevant.
How sessions work
How CBT and practical strategies work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means noticing patterns that trigger angry reactions, testing small behavior changes, and learning ways to reframe thoughts that escalate tension. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related issues. When clients bring issues tied to caregiving, chronic illness, or life transitions, the work often combines skill teaching with problem-solving. That can include brief behavioral experiments, communication practice, and planning to reduce daily pressure. These concrete steps aim to lower reactive responses and increase a sense of control over difficult situations. Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try together. Clients make choices about how faith or spiritual values are included, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or health limitations, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. Licensed professionals can also use online work to assign between-session exercises and monitor progress without requiring in-person visits.Areas of focus
