About Amy

Amy Roth is a licensed counselor who helps people facing anxiety, panic, stress, and life changes. She uses straightforward language and a practical style to help people manage day-to-day symptoms and feel steadier. Amy holds LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions.

She trained at South Dakota State University, earning a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Resource Development in 2007. Since then she has worked across a broad range of concerns, including trauma, mood disorders, attachment issues, and grief. Her work often centers on what someone is struggling with now and the goals they want to reach.

Amy adapts the plan to each person. She blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused work, and mindfulness tools to match a client’s needs. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and coping strategies people can use between appointments.

She commonly works with people aged 15 and up, though she has experience with different ages. Amy values collaboration and keeps sessions focused on present concerns and steps forward. Parents reading this will find language aimed at making therapy understandable and manageable.

Her practice is based in South Dakota and she offers services in English. The first step is a simple match process and scheduling. Amy aims to create a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

How Amy's Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Amy often blends cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based work in sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns from early relationships that affect current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amy collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and what the client prefers.

Her biography indicates she offers video, live chat, and phone sessions, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, while video lets the therapist and client use visual cues during discussion. The focus remains on practical skills, symptom management, and steps people can try between sessions to feel more capable and grounded.
