About Amy
Amy Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and issues around identity and sexuality. Her practice also includes concerns such as ADHD, eating and body image struggles, and guilt and shame.
In sessions she uses a mix of practical approaches to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness. She also uses Client-Centered methods to follow a person's priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
She addresses relational topics like intimacy, blended family challenges, and divorce and separation. She also works with people navigating non-traditional relationships, BDSM and kink concerns, and gender dysphoria related questions. First responder stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and issues of abandonment are also within her focus.
Amy combines talking strategies with skills work. That can include mindfulness exercises, behavioral tests of unhelpful beliefs, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and impulse control. She may use elements of the Gottman Method when working on relationship patterns and communication.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys riding horses, reading, and painting. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy commonly uses Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns of closeness and trust and how they affect current relationships. Client-Centered methods focus conversations on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. CBT breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to test beliefs and try new behaviors.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. Sessions can blend strategies so skill-building, perspective shifts, and relational exploration happen together.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation without rearranging daily routines.
