About Amaryllis
Amaryllis Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, and related concerns. Her practice also addresses parenting strain, career issues, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
She prefers clear, straightforward conversations. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps a person can try between meetings. She uses evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Amaryllis also draws on client-centered and narrative methods. That means she listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name the stories that shape their reactions. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when people need help managing strong emotions and building coping routines.
Many clients come for help with anger that shows up at work, at home, or around people they care about. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, codependency, or substance concerns that tie into anger or frustration.
Practical homework and short skill practices are common in sessions. Expect focused check-ins, skill-building, and a plan for what to try before the next meeting. The goal is clearer thinking and more options when stress or resentment starts to build.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions use that same open conversation to clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In an online session CBT often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Online DBT work tends to include short skills practice, step-by-step coaching, and repetition to build steady habits.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adapt plans based on what helps. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time to match how someone responds.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because none are listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow sessions at times that work around work or caregiving, and let people do skill practices in the places where problems actually happen.
