Amy McKinney

Amy McKinney is a clinical psychologist with ten years of experience. She commonly helps people dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, and stress. Amy aims to help people shift how they see themselves so they can feel more confident and calm in daily life.

She draws on mindfulness practices to help people stay grounded in the present. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered conversations to guide change. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit each person's life and goals.

Amy's earlier work included treating soldiers in the military, which shaped her approach to trauma and loss. That background informs how she supports people facing intense or complex experiences. She listens for what matters most and builds from there.

Therapy with Amy is collaborative. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding. Small, steady changes are a common focus, such as improving sleep, managing anger, or coping with major life transitions.

How these approaches guide online care

Amy uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people bring attention back to the present. Mindfulness exercises often focus on breath, bodily awareness, or brief grounding practices that reduce reactivity to stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their situation and goals. She may combine mindfulness, ACT, CBT techniques, and client-centered conversation to create a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people like video for face-to-face interaction while others prefer audio-only for a quicker, lower-bandwidth check-in; discuss what will work best when you schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to remote sessions so practical skills and calming practices carry over into everyday life.
