About Amy
Amy Wesley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with nine years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, grief, anger, addiction, and life transitions. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical skills people can use day to day.
Amy favors a person-centered approach and uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when helpful. In practice she listens first, then offers strategies to manage strong feelings and rebuild routines. That can include learning breathing and grounding techniques, spotting unhelpful thought patterns, or practicing new ways to speak up without escalating conflict.
She also addresses family and parenting topics, blended family issues, commitment and communication problems, control issues, fatherhood concerns, and the strain of isolation or shame. For people facing pregnancy and childbirth transitions, career stress, or social anxiety, she works on small steps that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control.
Amy frames therapy as a mix of skill teaching and reflective work. Clients can expect clear suggestions, short practice exercises, and check-ins on what is or isn’t working. She supports people across many life stages who want to manage anger, repair strained relationships, or move forward after difficult events.
Sessions are offered in English and Amy accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Amy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address strong emotions like anger and persistent worry. ACT helps people notice what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are intense. CBT focuses on recognizing thinking patterns that fuel upset and practicing clearer, calmer responses.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Those skills are useful for moments when anger spikes or when frustration repeats in relationships. The choice of methods is collaborative; she and the client review what is helpful and adjust the plan together based on goals and progress.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats she offers. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can practice skills between meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use video and phone work, but check the specific formats available for your situation when you schedule.
