About Amie
Amie Stefanich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed as an LCSW in Illinois and an LMSW in Michigan, with 10 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
She frequently supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and first responder issues. She also works with young adult issues, mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions begin by listening to what the client is experiencing and what matters most to them. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client’s perspective.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, practical steps people can try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding their own reasons for change.
Over her career she has guided many people through grief and end-of-life decisions and supported caregivers facing compassion fatigue. She aims to keep work practical and concrete, helping clients set achievable goals and track progress one step at a time.
BHow sessions work
How Amie Uses Practical Therapies Online
Amie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit day-to-day life. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and helps people test small changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific, achievable steps and on building what already works in someone’s life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use, based on their goals, strengths, and preferences. That means trying an approach and adjusting if it does not feel useful.
Practical benefits of doing sessions remotely include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping short check-ins that work around work or caregiving duties. The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday obligations.
