About Amy
Amy Brickler is a Kentucky LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 16 years of experience in mental health work. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and LGBT-related issues. Amy describes clients as the experts in their own stories and builds on strengths to work through current challenges.
Amy centers sessions on what the person brings to the room. She listens to how guilt, shame, or past choices show up in daily life. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing what already works for them.
Her past work includes assisting people with mood disorders, panic attacks, and substance concerns. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, isolation, dissociation, and issues around pregnancy and childbirth. That range informs how she adapts conversations to each person's situation.
Amy uses a client-centered approach. That means sessions move at the client’s pace and concentrate on personal experience rather than fitting a script. People who want to talk through painful choices, rebuild self-trust, or reduce the hold of shame often find this style straightforward and respectful.
Practical matters such as motivation, daily routines, and small behavior changes are part of the work. Amy encourages setting short, realistic goals and tracking small wins. She invites people to bring whatever feels most pressing to each session.
How her client-centered approach applies to online work
Amy practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening to each person's experience and responding to what they say matters most. This approach helps when feelings like guilt or shame are hard to name, because the therapist follows the client's lead and focuses on personal strengths and perspectives.She also concentrates on practical supports and small behavioral steps that people can try between sessions. That kind of focus is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and addictions because it breaks larger problems into manageable actions and tracks progress over time.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then adapt sessions accordingly. That collaborative planning helps people test different ways of working and choose what fits their life and needs.

In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
