About Amy
Amy Klein is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on Men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of life challenges. She holds an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) and a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice. She blends practical tools with reflective practices to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns.
Her work draws on decades in social services, beginning with community programs and a VISTA role. She has provided in-home family support, served as a Peace Corps volunteer working with youth in Kingston, Jamaica, and later completed a Master of Social Work at Western Michigan University. Since then she has worked in settings that include a Native tribe, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and a medical clinic.
Amy mixes evidence-based approaches with mindfulness and storytelling. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods alongside mindfulness practices, yoga, and creative tools. Sessions often focus on concrete skills, values-based choices, and developing an inner guide for decision making.
Her background also includes teaching yoga, practicing Reiki, and participation in Native Tradition, which she weaves into treatment when appropriate. She emphasizes listening closely, offering steady emotional presence, and helping people reconnect with strengths they already have.
People who come for help may be dealing with depression, trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, or career stress. Amy encourages a collaborative process that fits each person’s needs and life circumstances.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take actions that match those values, which can ease avoidance and increase meaningful engagement. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.She also works from a client-centered and mindfulness-informed stance, emphasizing listening, present-moment awareness, and building practical skills such as grounding and breathwork. These approaches suit issues like stress, trauma reactions, grief, and difficulties with motivation or focus.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which techniques to use. That may include combining ACT, CBT, mindfulness exercises, or creative practices like storytelling and yoga-based strategies depending on what fits best.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that skill practice, value-based planning, and behavioral experiments translate well to remote sessions when arranged to suit each person's routine and resources.
