About Amy
Amy Morantes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and aimed at adults seeking practical ways to cope at home.
Amy uses a straightforward, goal-oriented style. She listens for strengths people already have and helps them set achievable steps. Expect work that focuses on clear problems and concrete next steps rather than vague theory. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and on solution-focused techniques to plan small changes.
Her approach also incorporates client-centered and mindfulness elements. That means attention to the person’s experience and short practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the motivation to change behaviors related to substance use, routines, or self-care.
Amy pays attention to the systems around a person - family history, caregiving roles, and work pressures - and how those affect day-to-day life. She helps people break larger problems into manageable tasks and tracks progress together. Sessions often include practical skills, brief exercises, and agreed-upon homework.
People who come with parenting stress, family conflict, or caregiving burden receive focused, actionable support. The work aims to reduce immediate overwhelm and build steady coping habits over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her practice. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood by teaching specific skills and steps. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical changes and short-term goals, useful for parenting stress, relationship strain, or getting unstuck from a problem.She also brings client-centered and mindfulness elements into remote sessions. That means sessions pay attention to what feels important to the person and include brief practices to slow down reactivity. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; she will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily life.
The exact session formats available are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy household because appointments can be scheduled without travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, flexible timing around caregiving, and the ability to continue work between in-person visits when those fit a person’s routine.
