About Amy

Amy Murray is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and low self-esteem. She works with adults who are facing life changes and need practical tools to cope. Her approach is supportive and down-to-earth, focused on building skills people can use right away.

Amy emphasizes a mix of mindfulness and practical strategies to calm the mind and change unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She uses breathing and gentle movement exercises alongside thought-focused work to reduce reactivity. Sessions often include exploring thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and how these interact in relationships and daily life. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals and on narrative methods to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves.

This combination is aimed at increasing confidence, improving communication, and easing guilt or shame that gets in the way of living fully. Amy believes people already hold strengths and that therapy builds on those resources. She helps clients learn coping skills, practice new responses, and track progress between sessions.

The tone is collaborative and practical, with attention to each person’s values and goals. Based in North Carolina, Amy offers sessions in English and uses online formats to make scheduling easier. She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by loss, big changes, or persistent anxiety to take a small next step toward support.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Amy uses mindfulness-informed cognitive-behavioral techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. These practices teach simple ways to notice automatic thinking, test beliefs against evidence, and try alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also incorporates solution-focused methods that zero in on small, practical steps. Those techniques help set short-term goals, track progress, and build momentum when adjusting to life changes or solving communication problems.

Narrative-based work is used to explore the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Reframing those narratives can reduce shame and open up new ways of seeing strengths and choices.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will try different techniques to find the best fit together. Sessions are tailored as progress and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates, get quick coaching between sessions, or use writing as a way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
