Amy Hayes, LCSW

Amy Hayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Delaware with 22 years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, anger, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day to reduce the pressure they feel and regain more control over how they respond.

Her background includes work in both large cities and small towns, and experience across a range of cultural settings. That variety informs how she listens and the kinds of options she offers in sessions. Amy draws on life experience as well as professional practice when she talks with people about difficult changes and losses.

Amy uses evidence-based techniques including cognitive behavioral and humanistic approaches, along with task-oriented work. She emphasizes straightforward strategies - for example identifying patterns, testing small changes, and building simple routines that ease daily stress. These methods are used with whatever problem a person brings, from short-term pressures to longer-term grief or trauma.

When anger is a concern she will look at what leads up to reactive moments and what happens afterward. The focus is on practical adjustments people can try between sessions and small experiments to test new ways of responding. Progress is paced to the person’s readiness.

Her LCSW credentials are held in Delaware and she speaks English. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
