About Amy

Amy Neighbors is a licensed professional counselor in Arkansas who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills to increase emotional regulation, while also using client-centered and solution-focused techniques to tailor sessions to each client's priorities. Amy brings three years of clinical experience and maintains ongoing professional learning to broaden the tools she offers.

She aims to create an accepting therapeutic environment where clients can explore thoughts and emotions without judgment. Her work includes support for ADHD, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, compassion fatigue, and a range of related issues such as body image, communication difficulties, and feelings of emptiness.

Amy emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set practical goals and build skills that apply to day-to-day life. Whether someone is navigating a life transition, coping with trauma, or seeking coaching around purpose and motivation, she provides steady guidance and encouragement.

Amy supports each person’s pacing and readiness for change while helping them develop clearer coping strategies and more effective problem-solving approaches.

Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help

Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to practice new, more effective thinking and coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals guide the pace and focus of work. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are available when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering practical tools to manage strong emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore needs, preferences, and goals and then adapt methods over time to find what fits best. This partnership helps ensure that techniques feel relevant and manageable rather than prescriptive.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support from different locations. These options provide scheduling flexibility and multiple ways to engage, so clients can pick the format that best matches their communication style and daily routine.
