About Amy
Amy Carlier is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.
She spent many years working in Psychiatry at Cincinnati Children's Medical Center across different levels of care, then focused on raising her children.
How Amy works
Now that her children are older, she has returned to clinical work and combines that past experience with a compassionate style. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Amy works with issues that often come from relationships and life transitions, such as attachment struggles, communication problems, control issues, eating and food-related concerns, and family of origin wounds.
She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Many people seek her support for mood disorders, social anxiety, and women’s or young adult concerns. In sessions she tailors conversation and goals to what matters most to the client.
She focuses on building motivation, improving coping with strong emotions, and increasing self-compassion. Her style is direct but empathetic, and she helps people develop practical steps to feel more capable.

How evidence-based work translates online
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and reduce anxiety through step-by-step coping skills and short behavioral exercises. This helps with panic, persistent worry, and mood swings by giving simple tools to use between sessions.Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns that shape how people relate to others. This work looks at past family experiences and current relationship habits to identify small changes that improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She will check in and adjust the plan as needs shift.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and removing travel time so therapy can be easier to keep up. If you want to work online, confirm the current session options before booking so you know the available formats. Sessions can be scheduled to match your routine and to support steady progress over time.
