About Amy
Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as guilt and shame.
Amy builds a working partnership with each person who comes to her. She focuses on the goals the client wants to reach and keeps an attitude of unconditional positive regard throughout the work. Sessions include both practical coping skills and time to talk through how patterns and past events affect daily life.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. She adapts methods to the challenges a person brings, for example combining skills training with talk therapy when impulsivity or substance use are concerns.
Amy has experience supporting people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver burnout, first responder issues, fertility and family of origin concerns, and relationship struggles that leave someone carrying guilt or shame. She also works with career stress, anger, body image, and coping with large life changes.
Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on concrete tools alongside reflection. People can expect a mix of skill practice, motivational conversations, and deeper emotional work that looks at how past experiences shape present feelings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amy commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and perspectives and guides how conversations unfold. CBT looks at thought patterns and teaches practical strategies to change behaviors and feelings. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, motivational work, or emotion-focused conversation as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter phone check-in when that better suits a schedule. Practical benefits include keeping momentum between sessions through skill practice and scheduling that matches everyday life, while the therapist and client adapt methods to what works in web or phone meetings.
