Amy Klein, LMSW, LICSW

Amy Klein is a licensed social worker who blends practical tools with reflective work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She holds an LMSW and a LICSW and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice in Michigan. Amy describes herself as an empath and emphasizes holding steady emotional space for each person she meets.

She uses straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside narrative and Jungian ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include skills practice, gentle self-reflection, and ways to bring small changes into daily life. Amy also draws on movement, breath work, and creative expression when that supports a person's goals.

Her background includes community-based work, in-home family support, and settings such as schools, a medical clinic, a Native tribe program, and a medium-security prison. She also served in the Peace Corps and has long experience in social work roles since leaving high school. Those roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth style in session.

Amy brings additional interests into her work, including yoga teaching, Reiki, and Native Tradition practices, and she weaves story, music, and humor into therapy when it fits. She helps people deal with life transitions, parenting strain, burnout, and complications from trauma and long-term illness.

People who choose her often want a therapist who mixes evidence-based techniques with reflective, person-centered conversation. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the Start Therapy flow on the site.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Amy often blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered conversation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it helps people clarify values and take small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and unhelpful routines. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and can work toward their own goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which techniques to try first. It is common to combine approaches and adjust as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and letting people meet from wherever they are located. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can support skills practice, brief check-ins between in-person visits, and steady weekly work that fits around parenting, work, or medical appointments.
