About Amy

Amy Powers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting problems, grief, trauma and anger.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a main approach and also draws on client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps clients can use between meetings. Amy aims to be direct and respectful while helping people develop coping skills and new ways of responding to difficult emotions.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, obsessive and compulsive patterns, panic, bipolar disorder, and complex family issues. She also addresses attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication breakdowns. These areas often appear alongside anger, resentment, or control struggles, and she helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating.

In session she combines problem-focused strategies with mindfulness to help regulate intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. She helps people practice new responses so relationships and daily functioning improve over time. The focus is on skills that are realistic for a person's life and schedule.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Amy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard while they clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and mood issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, and those skills often pair well with CBT techniques.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they focus on what the client needs most, whether that is skill-building, trauma-focused work, or short-term problem solving.

Session formats were not listed in the original biography, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets therapists assign home practice and review real-life situations between meetings to support steady progress.
