About Amy
Amy Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She has five years in clinical therapy roles and additional experience supporting behavior and social-emotional challenges over a longer span. Amy approaches each person with respect and a focus on their strengths.
Amy uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She centers conversations on what matters to the client and helps pinpoint small, usable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are among the tools she draws on when they fit a person's goals.
Background and approach
Her work covers common struggles such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. She also helps people navigate life transitions, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and workplace or career questions. Amy includes attention to family and communication dynamics when those issues affect an individual.
Sessions often explore patterns that keep people stuck and teach new ways to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used to build motivation and calm in daily life. Amy aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and regain a sense of forward movement.
Clients can expect a warm, direct style that balances listening with practical suggestions. Amy invites collaboration on goals and adjusts methods to fit each person. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and supports people through the steps they choose to take.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Amy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and everyday stressors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amy talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggests practices to try. She adapts methods over time based on what helps and what does not, so clients help shape the plan as they go.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect that fit different needs. Video calls let people talk face to face and practice skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give options for brief support, tracking progress, or sending quick questions between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity while working toward goals.
