About Amy

Amy Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She brings five years of clinical experience and a decade of background working with behavior and social-emotional needs. Amy focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. She also addresses parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, and LGBTQ issues.

Her style centers on a strengths-based, client-centered approach. Sessions aim to help people notice what already works for them and build from there. Amy often uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit a person’s goals.

She has practical experience with trauma, abuse, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment. Amy also supports people facing blended family tensions, caregiving strain, and communication or control struggles. Her background includes work with children and adolescents in therapeutic roles, as well as broader behavioral supports.

Amy aims to help people reconnect with strengths they may have lost sight of. She emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step progress rather than abstract talk. The focus is on building useful skills, improving coping, and creating manageable change.

People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented approach often find her method straightforward. She invites prospective clients to consider their next steps and to use the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Amy often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people try small behavior changes to see different results. DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and emotional ups and downs.

She also uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person’s goals and strengths. That means the therapist and client work together to pick methods that feel useful. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process, and adjustments are expected as goals change.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, permit shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual options help them practice skills in everyday settings and keep momentum between appointments. The therapist will help tailor session length and focus to match your needs and schedule.
