About Amy

Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction concerns, and low self-esteem. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at clear goals and practical steps people can use right away.

She works with people facing depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. Amy also supports those coping with career changes, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and other life transitions. She brings a calm, patient presence and wants clients to feel heard from the first meeting.

Amy uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior methods. She also draws on emotionally-focused work and mindfulness practices to match techniques to each person’s needs. Sessions mix skill-building with opportunities to reflect and understand patterns.

Her background includes a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology and a post-master’s veteran behavioral health certificate. Over the past decade she has worked across a wide spectrum of concerns, including crisis intervention and goal setting. Amy aims to help people develop coping skills and meet their personal goals.

She approaches therapy as a partnership. Early sessions focus on priorities and practical steps. Later work often shifts toward deeper self-understanding and steady change.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online work

Amy uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful partnership where the person sets goals and the therapist listens deeply. This approach helps people who want to feel understood and have a say in the direction of their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice concrete behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and impulsivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy will help figure out which combination of methods fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to attend from different locations when quiet time is available. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler and reduce travel time, helping therapy become a regular part of daily life for many people.
