About Amy
Amy Creason is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who draws on cognitive behavioral principles alongside person-centered and mindfulness-informed methods to help clients address a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
She emphasizes a collaborative partnership in which the client’s goals shape the work, blending skill-building for stress, anxiety, addiction, and depression with opportunities for deeper self-discovery and reflection. Amy also brings approaches from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those methods suit a person’s needs.
With ten years of clinical experience and additional post-master’s training in veteran behavioral health, she has supported people dealing with relationship and family struggles, trauma and grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, and issues around self-esteem and body image. Amy’s practice includes attention to impulse control, caregiver stress, codependency, and adjustment after loss or separation.
She offers flexible session formats including video, phone, chat, and messaging to accommodate different preferences and life demands. Throughout the therapeutic process she maintains unconditional positive regard and works alongside clients to set practical goals while exploring patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulties.
Her approach aims to teach useful coping skills while also honoring the personal growth that can emerge from thoughtful, consistent therapy.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical strategies for changing behaviors and managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can reduce impulsivity and improve relationships. Lastly, client-centered methods create space for clients to explore personal goals and values while feeling heard and respected throughout the process.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors interventions from CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to fit each person. This means therapeutic direction can shift as goals evolve and new priorities emerge, keeping the plan focused on what the client wants to accomplish.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other life commitments while still using structured therapeutic tools and reflective conversation to support progress.
