About Amy
Amy McKinney is a clinical psychologist licensed in Wyoming (WY Psychologist 607) with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, addictions, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD among other areas. Amy’s work began treating Soldiers in the military, and that experience shapes how she approaches certain kinds of distress.
Amy helps people shift how they see themselves so they can notice more realistic and present views. She uses practical talk and evidence-informed methods to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Sessions are direct and focused on small changes that add up over time.
Her typical approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based methods and mindfulness. Amy also draws on client-centered work and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage emotions. For trauma-related concerns she integrates EMDR alongside other tools when clinically appropriate.
People come to her for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, grief, substance use concerns, and career-related stress. She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family problems, first responder and veteran issues, and HIV/AIDS related concerns.

How sessions work
How Amy integrates therapeutic approaches in online work
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts without getting stuck and to clarify values that guide everyday choices. ACT can be useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes by shifting focus toward what matters most.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical for problems like sleep disruption, mood difficulties, and addictive behaviors. For trauma-related symptoms she may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one part of a broader plan to reduce distress linked to troubling memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them based on what helps most.
