About Amy
Amy Creason is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings ten years of clinical work to each session. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, attention challenges, relationship and family issues, and grief.

Amy uses plain, practical tools alongside open conversation. She blends narrative ideas with client-centered care to help people reframe painful stories about themselves.
Background and approach
Cognitive-behavioral and dialectical skills are woven in when clients want concrete strategies for mood, impulsivity, or behavior changes. Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a post-master's veteran behavioral health certificate. Over a decade she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, substance use struggles, anger, caregiver stress, and career transitions.
That variety shaped a flexible approach to meeting different needs. Sessions aim to balance skill-building and self-discovery. Amy uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices when they fit a person's goals.
She keeps language simple and focuses on steps someone can try between sessions. Amy provides services in English and meets with clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her work is subscription-based and can be canceled at any time, and she helps people get started by guiding them through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process.

Online session options
Approach-driven care delivered online
Amy draws on narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their everyday choices, focusing on how personal narratives influence feelings and relationships. She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person's goals and perspective and encourages self-discovery through respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used when practical steps and behavior change are the target, offering clear tools for anxiety, mood, and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful when visual cues and face-to-face interaction help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or shorter exchanges between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity during life changes.
