Amy Oxendine, LCSW

Amy Oxendine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and career or financial stressors. She also supports concerns including ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Amy draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes that fit daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and realistic steps rather than abstract theory. She uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide conversations and plan action.

Her background includes work in private mental health agencies, child protective services, hospitals, group homes, and public schools. That range informs how she helps with parenting questions, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and aging or geriatric issues. She has experience supporting people facing chronic illness, pain, and co-occurring conditions.

Amy has also worked with veterans and with people affected by military sexual trauma in clinical settings. Her practice attends to practical barriers and day-to-day routines as part of making progress. Sessions typically include skills practice, thought-behavior work, motivational interviewing to clarify values and goals, and mindful awareness exercises.

People who choose her tend to want straightforward guidance they can use between sessions. She asks clear questions, sets measurable steps, and checks how strategies fit the client's life. To begin, she asks a few details so sessions can focus on what matters most from the first meeting.
