About Amy

Amy Brant is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with 30 years of professional experience. She brings a background that began in special education and school counseling, and over time she focused on how family patterns and past experiences influence present choices and relationships.

Background and approach

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting issues, ADHD, and many related areas such as attachment, codependency, communication problems, chronic illness, and body image. Her style adapts to what each client needs, ranging from solution-focused, brief interventions to more collaborative, educational work.

Amy combines techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with other evidence-informed approaches to help clients explore patterns, learn new skills, and set realistic goals. She aims to listen with empathy and to tailor her support so clients can process past events, manage current difficulties, and plan healthier futures.

Amy’s long career in schools and family settings informs a practical, relational focus that centers on empowering people to make meaningful changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

In her online work Amy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, develop more effective coping skills, and clarify values that guide meaningful change. CBT focuses on examining thought patterns and building practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress, while ACT emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action toward a life aligned with personal values.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relational patterns shape current connections and communication. This approach can be useful for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and understanding patterns of attachment that affect emotion regulation and trust.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify what methods fit their goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that best supports progress toward personal goals.
