About Amy

Amy Pullen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana. She has seven years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns like bipolar, and the everyday challenges that come with parenting and family life.

She focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people feel steadier. Amy approaches sessions with the view that clients know their own story best. She highlights strengths clients already have and uses those as a starting point for change.

In therapy she talks through relationship and communication problems, codependency patterns, and the strain of blended family situations. She also supports people working through trauma, attachment concerns, adoption or foster care issues, and the struggles that come with major life transitions.

Amy has worked with people facing attention differences, impulse control challenges, and co-occurring difficulties such as hoarding, dissociation, or domestic violence histories. She pays attention to practical coping skills for anger, shame, and guilt alongside emotional processing.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps that fit into daily life. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach teaches coping skills and breathing or grounding exercises to reduce anxiety and manage strong emotions; these techniques are short, teachable, and straightforward to practice between sessions. Another useful approach centers on improving communication and relationship habits by identifying interaction patterns and trying small changes in real life that can change how people relate to each other.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, day-to-day needs, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which strategy to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. Amy’s work emphasizes fitting therapy into everyday life, so online care can help by removing travel time, making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, and allowing flexible timing around work or parenting demands. It also makes it simpler to practice newly learned skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples from day-to-day situations into discussion.
