About Amy
Amy Gatch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW in North Carolina and a LISW-CP in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, attention issues, grief, depression, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps and problem solving rather than abstract talk.
Amy uses straightforward conversations to identify what is causing tension and what makes it worse. She listens for patterns in behavior and thought, then suggests small changes people can try between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work concrete and goal-oriented.
Her background includes work in school and clinical settings, which shapes how she helps people manage day-to-day problems. That experience informs approaches for communication difficulties, caregiver stress, and impulsivity. Amy also supports people facing life transitions and young adults navigating new responsibilities.
In the first sessions she focuses on building a working relationship and setting realistic goals. Sessions include a mix of talking, identifying concrete steps, and checking progress. People leave with clear ideas they can try during the week.
Amy asks clients to be active collaborators in the process. She balances listening with offering tools and education about behavior and thought patterns. Her practice reflects practical problem solving and attention to everyday functioning.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in practical ways. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and identifies small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can help with anger, anxiety, and repetitive reactions by giving steps to try between sessions.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, short-term goals and builds on what already works. It is useful when someone wants to reduce frequent outbursts or improve communication by focusing on concrete next steps rather than long background review.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to pick strategies that match their goals, daily life, and preferences. That means checking what helps and adjusting methods as needed.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here.
