About Amy
Amy Svoboda is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strains. She also works with trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Amy keeps conversation straightforward. She listens for what matters at home and helps people practice ways to cope between sessions. Sessions focus on what is practical for daily life - small changes that add up. She explains ideas clearly and checks in about what is working.
Her approach draws on several methods so she can match work to the person. Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and commit to values-based action. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Attachment-informed work supports people struggling with closeness or fears of abandonment.
Amy has worked in clinical and teaching roles and has experience with people who have long mental health histories as well as those seeking shorter-term support. That background informs how she plans sessions and sets realistic steps forward. She aims to help people increase self-awareness and build healthier responses to old difficulties.
She is based in Texas and conducts her professional work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit their schedule and needs.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centered techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making steady changes when feelings are overwhelming. Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns of closeness and distance that develop in relationships and can help people address fears of abandonment or repeated relationship conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear, respectful listening and collaboration so the person directs goals and pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on how the person is responding.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-in visits when needed. They can also let someone attend from a quieter place in their day and avoid needing to be on camera if that feels better. Ask about format details when you schedule to match sessions to your routine.
