About Amy
Amy Norberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and challenges related to ADHD. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can feel heard and understood. Her approach is practical and focused on small, doable steps clients can try between sessions.
Amy draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters most and act on those values.
Background and approach
Emotion-focused work and dialectical skills are available when emotions are intense or relationships feel stuck. She has worked in a range of mental health settings over more than a decade, working with adults across many concerns. That background gives her experience with depression, trauma, grief, and problems that show up at work or at home.
Amy aims to make therapy understandable and practical for busy lives. In sessions she helps people set clear goals, build coping skills, and practice new ways of relating. Parents will find straightforward guidance around sleeping, behavior, and communication.
People coping with life changes get help breaking big problems into manageable steps. Amy sees therapy as a team effort. She will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and temperament.
Short-term coaching goals and longer therapeutic work are both options depending on what someone wants to focus on.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral work and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people manage symptoms and focus on what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical techniques for changing patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values and life goals.She also draws on emotionally-focused methods when relationships or strong emotions are central concerns. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions, improve how they communicate those feelings, and build better connection in important relationships. Together, these approaches give options for symptom relief, skill building, and deeper work on patterns that repeat over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will discuss options, listen to a client's goals and preferences, and tailor the plan over time. Some people prefer short-term coaching and specific skills practice, while others work on longer-term emotional patterns, and she adapts to those needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues, phone can be easier on low bandwidth or when getting a check-in during a break, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing processing between sessions. These options help make therapy fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
