About Amy
Amy Murray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 17 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and changes in life. She also addresses self-esteem and confidence concerns and offers support around communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and women's issues.
Amy uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions. She draws on mindfulness-informed cognitive behavioral ideas alongside solution-focused work. She also integrates breathing and movement practices influenced by yoga and uses narrative methods to examine personal stories.
In sessions she looks at thoughts, behaviors, belief systems, inner dialogue, bodily responses, and patterns in relationships. That helps people see how they react to situations and what they believe about themselves. Conversations are aimed at developing concrete skills for coping with stress and everyday challenges.
She encourages clients to tap into their own strengths and to try new approaches to recurring problems. Work may include skill practice, short experiments between sessions, and re-framing harmful self-talk. The focus is on practical changes that fit into daily life.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. International clients are not currently accepted.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness-informed cognitive behavioral techniques combine paying attention to present-moment experience with practical work on thoughts and behaviors. That approach helps with anxiety, depression, rumination, and stress by teaching short practices and thought-restructuring exercises.Solution-focused work zeroes in on small, achievable changes. Sessions often identify one or two concrete steps to try between meetings and then review what worked. This method is useful when someone wants quick, practical adjustments for life or work stresses.
Narrative techniques look at the stories a person tells about themselves and their relationships. Changing how a story is described can reduce guilt, shame, and stuck patterns and open new ways of responding to problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That discussion can happen in the first few sessions and will be revisited as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, keep appointments during travel, or choose shorter check-ins when full sessions are hard to fit in. Some techniques translate well to remote sessions, such as guided breathing, cognitive exercises, and brief behavioral experiments, and these can be practiced between meetings to reinforce progress.
