About Amie
Amie Roberts is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship conflict, substance use concerns, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and anger. She also supports clients navigating LGBT issues and intimacy-related concerns including kink and poly dynamics.
Roberts holds a master’s degree in counseling and a bachelor’s in Spanish literature. Her practice focuses on helping people talk through where they feel stuck and decide what to try next. She aims to help clients find their own answers rather than impose a single way of thinking.
In sessions she blends practical, evidence-informed tools with attention to meaning and identity. That can mean learning skills to manage impulses and strong emotions, testing out different ways of communicating, or working through painful memories at a pace that fits the client. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside client-centered and existential approaches.
She is experienced with concerns around abandonment, codependency, infidelity, blended family tensions, body image, and sexual culture issues such as BDSM and kink. Roberts also addresses stress related to career, self-esteem, and addictive behaviors. Her work includes support for people coping with domestic violence and dissociation when those topics arise in therapy.
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. The focus is on practical steps the client can use between appointments to reduce anger, manage reactivity, and improve communication in relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Amie Roberts draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical ways. ACT helps people notice what matters most to them and take small committed actions toward those values, which can be useful for anger that shows up around relationships or identity. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it with real-life experiments, which can reduce reactivity and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Roberts will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to try based on their goals, preferences, and what happens in early sessions. That includes checking in about how techniques land and adjusting the plan if something does not feel useful.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients can use a work break or an evening slot more easily. The focus is on helping clients practice skills between meetings and bringing what happens in daily life back into conversation during appointments.
