About Amy
Amy Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and ADHD. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and a practical, person-focused way of working. Her style is direct yet warm, and she aims to help people find steady ways to cope and grow.
Amy uses approaches drawn from well-known therapy models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on building skills, naming patterns, and testing small changes that make daily life easier. She often blends techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than sticking to one single method. Her background includes long experience in clinical practice and supervision.
That experience informs how she guides people through recovery, grieving, and major life transitions. She has a track record of supporting people working on substance use concerns and co-occurring issues, and she speaks openly about how lived recovery shaped her perspective. Amy describes her work as collaborative.
She listens for the goals someone brings and then helps them design steps to reach those goals. Many people find her straightforward feedback and steady encouragement useful when facing messy or confusing problems. In sessions she balances practical tools with attention to attachment and emotion.
She also brings experience helping with caregiver stress, body image and communication problems. People who want a counselor who mixes skill-building with honest conversation often choose to work with her.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Amy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed, client-centered work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or disruptive mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what feels most useful and realistic for the person’s life.
Online sessions offer flexibility and a range of formats to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in between sessions or use written reflection when that feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while focusing on progress and practical skills.
