About Amy
Amy Louwers is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends cognitive behavioral strategies with hypnotherapy to help people feel less anxious and more grounded. She draws on 20 years in mental health and personal experience with chronic illness to shape practical, body-aware care. Sessions aim to ease overwhelm and reduce the hold of persistent stress on daily life.
Amy focuses on anxiety, stress, sleeping problems, low self-esteem, and depression.
How Amy works
She also helps people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and challenges around career and life purpose. Additional interests include chronic pain and illness, forgiveness work, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. Her work links thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and learned patterns so clients can notice what keeps them stuck.
Talk therapy is combined with brain-rewiring strategies and somatic techniques that target the nervous system. Tools may include guided imagery, tapping (EFT), sound bowl integration, and other body-based methods to support calm. When appropriate and desired, hypnotherapy is offered as a tool to access deeper habits and reinforce changes.
Amy also uses a focused 6-session Release & Rewire program for people coping with anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, or overwhelm to reduce fear around symptoms and build supportive habits. Her style is practical and down-to-earth. She helps people move out of survival mode and build routines that feel doable.
Outside of work she enjoys dance workouts, walks, and attempting to enjoy golf.

How CBT and Hypnotherapy Can Work Online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete experiments or behavior changes. It helps reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change the routines that fuel low mood by teaching practical skills and simple exercises to practice between sessions.Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and imagery to access deeper patterns and reinforce new habits. It can be helpful for shifting long-standing responses to stress, supporting nervous system regulation, and strengthening calming routines when a person is ready to try it.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, hypnotherapy, or a mix makes the most sense for their goals and daily life. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow consistent follow-up between appointments. It also supports using exercises at home, shorter check-ins when needed, and ways to practice techniques in everyday settings without requiring a separate trip.
