Amy Klein, LMSW, LICSW

Amy Klein is a licensed social worker who blends practical therapy with mindful practices. She holds an LMSW and a LICSW and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. Amy aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, life changes, and midlife concerns in clear, down-to-earth language.

She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside mindfulness, yoga, and storytelling. Sessions often include simple exercises to notice thoughts, experiment with new behaviors, and clarify values. Amy emphasizes listening first, then offering strategies that fit daily life.

Amy's background spans community and clinical settings. She began in community service roles and completed a Bachelor of Social Work at Wayne State University and a Master of Social Work at Western Michigan University. Her experience includes in-home family programs, work with youth-at-risk in the Peace Corps, clinical roles in a tribal setting, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and a medical clinic.

Her personal practice also informs her approach. She teaches yoga, practices Reiki, and draws on Native Tradition alongside evidence-based methods. That mix helps her combine science, ritual, and creative work like art and music in therapy.

Amy describes herself as an empath who values safety and unconditional positive regard. She helps people find their inner compass through mindful practice, practical CBT skills, and conversational, collaborative work on real-life problems.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that adapt well to online sessions. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and midlife decisions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can talk through problems and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean mixing mindfulness practice, CBT techniques, and conversational work until a useful pattern emerges.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins during work breaks or while traveling, and it can support brief skills practice between appointments. Because specific session formats are not listed in this profile, confirm the available options before booking to be sure they match your needs.
