About Amie

Amie Bishop is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing from Florida. She brings 14 years of experience to sessions and aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and codependency among other issues.

Amie describes therapy as a team effort. She works with each person to set clear goals and break them into small, manageable steps. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building skills for everyday life.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods and evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior strategies. That means listening first, then trying practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and cope with distress.

Amie is experienced supporting people with chronic illness, addiction, trauma, and complex relationship concerns. She also notes experience with alternative sexual cultures and kink-positive practice, and she is open to people from diverse backgrounds.

Her style is straightforward and accepting. She helps clients set realistic steps and track progress. The emphasis is on practical change - clearer communication, calmer responses, and stronger boundaries.

To start, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Amie accepts international clients and provides services in English.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-centered work starts by listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist offers acceptance and uses the client's own goals to guide each session, which can help when people feel judged or misunderstood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It includes practical exercises to try between sessions and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related worries.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It includes techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and shift course when something isn’t helping.

For practical matters, confirm current session formats before booking since offerings can change. The original biography mentions messaging, live chat, and live phone sessions during certain evening and weekend hours, so ask about those options if they suit your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work and family life - for example a shorter phone check-in can be scheduled during a lunch break, or messaging can support progress between live conversations.
