About Amy

Amy Gatch brings a practical, goal-oriented approach to people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, attention-related concerns, grief, and changes in life circumstances. She uses evidence-informed methods to help clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Amy is licensed to practice in both North and South Carolina as an LCSW and LISW-CP, and she draws on sixteen years of professional practice to inform her work. Her background includes experience in school and clinical settings, which contributes to a flexible understanding of how family dynamics, developmental differences, and caregiving demands affect daily life.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration, teaching practical skills, and creating achievable plans to address communication problems, impulsivity, low self-esteem, and challenges tied to autism spectrum or intellectual disability when they are relevant. Amy frames therapy as a process of learning and problem solving while also honoring the moments of life worth enjoying.

Clients can expect a supportive therapist who blends structured interventions with a warm, pragmatic stance aimed at helping them move toward the outcomes they value.

Applied Approaches and Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps, helping clients build on what is already working and set small, attainable goals to move forward.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences and may blend elements of CBT and solution-focused work to create a personalized plan. This shared decision making helps shape clear objectives and realistic strategies for change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access care from home or another convenient location, and choose the communication style that best supports progress.
