Amy Seligson

Amy Seligson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who chose this path after experiencing the help counseling offered her as a child. She earned a master’s degree in counseling from Wayne State University and built her early career as a special education teacher and counselor. Her own experience with therapy shaped her commitment to guide others through difficult transitions and emotional pain.

She works in a direct, compassionate style. Sessions focus on understanding what feels most upsetting now and finding steps that help in daily life. She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are part of her approach when they fit a person’s goals.

Amy has experience supporting people with relationship trouble, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, anxiety, depression, attention challenges, and identity questions. She also addresses issues like codependency, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, loneliness, and life purpose. Her background with children, adolescents, teens, and parents informs how she approaches family-related concerns.

Sessions follow a collaborative process where the person sets goals and Amy suggests practical exercises between visits. She keeps language simple and actions concrete, such as short mindfulness practices, behavior-focused experiments, and communication exercises. The aim is to leave sessions with clear next steps that people can try between meetings.

Therapy is offered in English and is provided from her Colorado practice. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to available times.

How Amy blends mindfulness and skills work online

Amy draws from mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting immediately; this can reduce overwhelm and make problem solving easier. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers conversations on each person’s goals and experiences so sessions follow what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments to shift day-to-day patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amy collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts tools and homework accordingly so the plan grows from real progress and feedback.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use practical exercises, guided mindfulness practices, and behavior-focused assignments that translate well to remote sessions, letting people practice new skills between meetings.
