About Amy
Amy Sherman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, substance issues, relationship strains, grief, intimacy concerns, eating problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.
Amy uses clear, practical conversation and skill-building to identify what causes distress. She listens for patterns in how people react and teaches techniques to change unhelpful habits. Sessions focus on understanding emotions and improving communication so daily life feels more manageable.
Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and psychology from Vermont College and many years working with people facing anger management, anxiety, domestic and substance abuse, and midlife challenges. That experience shapes how she structures sessions and what she prioritizes in early work together.
Amy draws on several approaches in session. She names Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among her methods. She also uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools when they fit a person’s needs.
In practical terms, Amy emphasizes building small skills first. People practice communication moves, mindful breathing, or thought-challenging exercises between sessions. Progress is tracked through short check-ins and concrete steps people can use outside the therapy hour.
How Amy’s approaches translate to online work
Amy lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as one of her approaches. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive repetitive patterns in relationships and personal reactions. It can help people notice attachment-related feelings and learn new ways to respond to emotional triggers.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core tool she applies to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior change work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to what the person actually wants to change.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats work better for quieter conversations, while others suit shorter, skill-focused visits; Amy will help choose what fits practical needs and therapy goals.
