    About Amy

    Amy Roth is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with about 15 years in the counseling field. She works mainly with people aged 15 and up and is comfortable helping clients across a wide range of concerns. Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are and focusing on what matters most right now.

    Amy draws on a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to support emotional connection and personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are available when practical strategies are helpful.

    Her practice includes work on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, mood disorders, and grief. She also supports people facing parenting strains, relationship and family problems, identity questions like gender dysphoria, and struggles with self-esteem or life purpose. Amy notes experience with panic attacks, personality concerns, and compassion fatigue as well.

    Amy prefers to tailor sessions to each person. She talks with clients about current struggles and therapy goals, then picks tools that fit those goals. The result is a flexible plan rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

    She completed a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Resource Development from South Dakota State University in 2007. Amy continues to draw on a broad clinical background to support practical, goal-focused therapy for teens and adults.

  2. How Amy’s approaches translate to online work

    Amy often blends Motivational Interviewing and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own motivation for change through open questions and reflective listening; it can be useful for decisions about behavior, goals, and overcoming ambivalence. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating and feeling stable.

    She also uses Client-Centered methods, which prioritize the person’s experience and pace in sessions. Together these approaches make therapy collaborative. Amy will listen to your needs, discuss goals, and help decide which methods suit you best rather than imposing a single plan.

    If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Confirm current session options when you schedule so the format matches what you need.
