Amy Klein

Amy Klein uses mindfulness as a central part of her therapy work. She combines simple mindful practices with everyday tools to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Amy writes and talks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy feel like a practical part of life rather than a formal task.

Amy has 14 years of clinical experience and holds an LMSW and a LICSW. She has worked in many settings including in-home family programs, a Native tribe, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and a medical clinic. Earlier roles included AmeriCorps VISTA work and Peace Corps service in Kingston, Jamaica, where she supported youth at risk.

Her approach mixes mindfulness, cognitive behavior tools, client-centered listening, acceptance and commitment ideas, and occasional Jungian insights. She uses breathing practices, grounding exercises, simple cognitive techniques, and storytelling to help people reconnect with an inner sense of direction. Sessions often include gentle experiments to try between meetings.

Amy also teaches yoga and practices Reiki and Native Tradition, and she draws on these experiences when clients are open to them. She focuses on clear, usable strategies for parenting strain, trauma and abuse, addiction struggles, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and intimacy or relationship-related concerns. The emphasis is on practical steps that fit daily life.

People meet Amy for straightforward help with anger, self-esteem, career shifts, caregiving stress, body image, chronic illness, and recovery from abandonment or adoption issues. She encourages collaboration and keeps plans flexible to match each person's needs.

Mindful approaches adapted for online work

Amy draws on mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered listening to guide online sessions. Mindfulness involves short practices and attention work that help reduce reactivity and increase calm. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking manageable, values-guided actions even when emotions are hard. Client-centered therapy emphasizes warm listening and reflection so the person feels heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That might mean using mindfulness for stress, ACT for coping with change, or conversational, client-centered support for processing grief or relationship concerns.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also lets people try short check-ins, practice exercises between meetings, and work with a therapist who blends practical skills and mindful practices without needing to commute.
