About Amy
Amy Klein is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, practicing in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, grief, parenting strains, anger, and related issues. Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life changes.
Amy draws on a broad background that started with community service and continued through school-based, clinic, and correctional settings. She has provided in-home family support, served in the Peace Corps with youth-at-risk, and worked with tribal communities and medical clinics. These roles shaped a direct, grounded approach to therapy.
Her work blends practical psychological methods with mindfulness and reflective practices. Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to help people notice patterns, test new responses, and build small habits that alter day-to-day feeling and behavior. She includes mindfulness, movement, and creative techniques such as yoga and storytelling when they fit the client's situation.
Amy also incorporates elements from Jungian ideas and client-centered work to explore meaning, values, and how personal history affects current reactions. She describes therapy as collaborative - people set goals and Amy offers methods and feedback to reach them. Practical exercises and short skill practices are common between sessions.
Outside clinical work she teaches yoga, practices Reiki, and engages with Native Tradition. Amy lives near Lake Michigan and prefers an approach that mixes evidence-based tools with approachable practices to help people manage anger, grief, and life transitions.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. ACT often helps with persistent anger, anxiety, and decisions about work or relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and to practice small experiments that change daily reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Amy treats therapy as a collaboration where goals, needs, and preferences guide which approaches are used. She will talk through options and adapt exercises so they fit the client's day-to-day life and what they want to change.
