About Amy
Amy Powers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 17 years of practice. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
Amy uses straightforward, practical methods grounded in cognitive behavioral work. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and build concrete skills for handling distress. She also incorporates client-centered principles and mindfulness tools to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
Her background includes trauma-focused approaches for people coping with abuse and neglect. Amy has worked with a wide range of concerns, including panic, obsessive and compulsive behaviors, post-traumatic stress, and problems with anger, jealousy, guilt, and shame. She also supports people facing life changes such as divorce or blended family adjustments.
In sessions she keeps communication direct and respectful. Expect practical strategies, real conversation about goals, and collaborative planning for next steps. Amy pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that often underlie repeated conflict in relationships.
She also addresses caregiver stress and the ongoing pressures of parenting. People who need help sorting priorities, improving communication, or managing mood symptoms may find this approach useful. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches online and how they can help
Client-centered work focuses on listening and collaboration. In this approach the therapist follows your concerns and supports your pace, which helps when you need to talk through relationship or parenting worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers clear exercises and experiments you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions in relationships.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. DBT tools can be useful for handling anger, panic, or strong relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your situation and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as your needs evolve.

Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, how to handle session length, and what to expect in the first few meetings.
