About Amy
Amy Wienand is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and LGBT-related concerns. Her practice also includes work with drug and alcohol addiction, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and young adult issues.
Amy focuses on straightforward conversations that identify what is most pressing right now. She listens for strengths and past resources clients have used. Sessions often look at patterns that contribute to stress and the practical steps someone can try between meetings. She uses concrete techniques from mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to help people notice thoughts and make different choices.
Her style is collaborative. Amy treats people as the experts in their own lives and helps them test new ways of coping. She pays attention to daily routines, relationships, and work or school demands that affect mood and behavior.
In sessions about addiction and substance use, Amy combines motivational interviewing to support readiness with narrative work to reframe personal stories. For grief and hospice-related concerns she focuses on meaning, memory, and manageable steps forward.
People who want practical, down-to-earth help with stress, life transitions, or substance concerns can expect clear goals and short-term strategies alongside deeper conversation when needed.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts, physical reactions, and breathing. Mindfulness can help reduce reactivity to anxiety and support steadying routines during stressful times.She also uses motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change. This approach focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build small, achievable steps when addressing substance use or other habits.
Narrative therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves. Reframing those stories can change how someone sees a problem and what options feel possible, which is helpful for grief, identity questions, and life transitions.
Picking the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That plan can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove travel time for someone balancing work and family. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect for the first meeting.
