About Amy
Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She draws on a decade of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, and life changes. Her style is straightforward and focused on each person's goals.
Amy builds a partnership with each person she sees. She keeps conversations centered on what the client wants to achieve. She balances skill-building with time to talk through feelings and life history.
Background and approach
She uses practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when those fit a client's needs. Amy has worked in a wide range of settings over the past 10 years.
That experience includes supporting people with substance use concerns, anger, family conflict, grief, and caregiver stress. She also helps with career strain, relationship struggles, and issues connected to trauma and abuse. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small steps, and skills that can be used between meetings.
Amy aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can try new ways of coping. Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a post-master's veteran behavioral health certificate, which inform her practical approach to care.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting concerns and helping set goals. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical method that looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions work on specific patterns and teach skills for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and impulsivity. People use homework and real-life practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It is useful for high emotion, anger, and impulsivity and emphasizes balancing acceptance with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That plan can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy with Amy includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a busy day, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or other daily routines.
