About Amy

Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, grief, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer emotional understanding.

Amy uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness approaches. She aims to help people name and track strong emotions and to build strategies that fit daily life. Conversations move between skill practice and exploring feelings to find what helps most in the moment.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a post-master's veteran behavioral health certificate. Over the past decade she has worked across varied settings supporting people with mood concerns, substance use issues, crisis intervention, anger management, and goal-focused work. That range informs a practical, skills-oriented style.

In sessions Amy invites collaboration on goals and keeps the focus on what the client wants to change. She blends evidence-informed techniques with listening and reflection so people can try new ways of coping. Sessions also include steps to manage setbacks and to track progress toward clearer patterns of feeling and action.

She offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Amy uses EFT, CBT and client-centered work online

Amy integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognize and name their core emotions and how those feelings shape reactions. EFT can be useful when emotions are intense or when patterns of relating feel stuck. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities, offering reflection and open questions to clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she brings into sessions to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors by offering concrete steps to practice between meetings. Amy combines these approaches to fit what a person needs at that time rather than relying on one single method.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which approaches feel most useful based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life. Together they track which strategies help and adjust the plan over time.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time for appointments. Many people find it helpful to combine emotion-focused conversations with brief skills practice between sessions.
