About Amie

Amie Bishop is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works from Florida and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method. In practice she draws from multiple approaches rather than relying on a single method. That means sessions can include emotion-focused conversation, skill-building, and communication work depending on the issue.

Amie describes counseling as a place to work toward clearer goals, better communication, and stronger relationships. She aims to help people identify steps they can take and then practice those steps in session. When working on intimacy or sexual concerns she approaches the topic without judgment and focuses on practical ways to improve connection.

Her background includes extensive experience with people affected by substance use and other addictions, trauma from natural or human-caused events, and involvement with the criminal justice system. She has also worked with professionals, parents, young adults, minorities, and people experiencing homelessness.

For people worried about fitting therapy into a busy schedule, Amie offers messaging and live chat or phone options. She typically responds to messages each day and outlines expected hours directly during intake.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive interaction patterns. Online sessions can guide people to notice those feelings and practice new ways of responding to attachment and relationship stresses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding someone’s experience and following their lead. In remote sessions this often looks like open conversation, asking what matters most, and pacing work to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. Online work can include brief worksheets, tracking tools, and practice between contacts. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the concerns they bring. That decision can change as progress is made. Her listed session formats include messaging, live chat, and live phone options; confirm current offerings when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use audio-only contacts when video isn't practical. The therapist will discuss which format supports the planned work and how to structure sessions for steady progress.
