She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University. Amie focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related issues among other concerns.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions and interaction patterns. It is often used for helping people name and work with feelings that are hard to express and for addressing how those feelings affect relationships and behavior.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client steer the pace and focus of sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, mood difficulties, and coping with specific behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their concerns and preferences. That decision can evolve as goals change over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter follow-up check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and skill practice so they work well in a remote setting, and they can suggest ways to manage limited bandwidth or to do a phone-only check-in if that is more practical.
