About Amy
Amy Schlatter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She also supports those coping with major life changes and concerns like codependency, attachment difficulties, and caregiver stress. Amy writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Her background blends counseling with years in education.

She holds master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and in Holistic Nutrition and Herbalism, plus a bachelor’s degree in Education.
Amy uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on mindfulness practices, yoga-informed strategies, and ideas from attachment theory to help people notice patterns and change them. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, internal family systems ideas, and cognitive-behavioral techniques where those fit.
In sessions she focuses on the mind-body connection and practical steps clients can try between meetings. Amy aims to build resilience by helping people name unhelpful habits, practice new ways of coping, and make gradual changes that feel manageable. She keeps language straightforward and gives concrete tools to use in daily life.
People seeking help can expect a calm, direct style that emphasizes awareness, small experiments, and steady progress. Amy works with adults, teenagers, and children and adapts her approach to each person’s situation.
Approaches that connect thinking, feeling, and daily life
Amy often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also uses ideas from internal family systems to help people understand inner parts that hold difficult beliefs or feelings. This work can make patterns like avoidance, control, or codependency easier to recognize and change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy discusses options with each person and adjusts methods to match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She aims to blend skill work, mindful awareness, and practical exercises that fit each life situation.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not being on camera, while others use video to work more directly on communication and emotion skills. Licensed professionals can help decide which format most closely matches a person’s goals and daily routine.
