About Amy
Amy Oxendine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating issues, and career or life transitions. Amy practices in North Carolina and offers a warm, straightforward approach to therapy.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Amy listens first to understand what matters most, then helps set small goals.
Background and approach
She uses clear tools clients can try between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes work in mental health agencies, child protective services, hospitals, group homes, and public schools.
That variety shaped her ability to adapt methods to different needs and life situations. Amy has seven years of clinical experience and brings that perspective to each session. Amy draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
She mixes approaches to fit each person instead of using one fixed method. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. People who choose Amy will find a therapist who encourages strengths, breaks problems into concrete steps, and focuses on practical coping skills.
She is direct when needed and supportive as clients work toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Amy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made so the plan fits the person’s life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short moments into a busy day and to keep communication going between longer sessions. These options help people access therapy around school, work, caregiving, or other commitments.
