Amy Carlier

Amy Carlier is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and related concerns. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone worried about reaching out.

Before returning to practice full time, she spent many years focusing on family and parenting while maintaining ties to psychiatry work at Cincinnati Children's Medical Center. That background gives her familiarity with different levels of care and varied clinical settings.

In sessions she tailors conversation and treatment to each person's needs. She listens for what matters most and works with clients to set practical goals. Her approach centers on building motivation, improving self-esteem, and developing skills to manage strong feelings like anger and anxiety.

Amy also addresses challenges tied to relationships and life patterns, such as attachment concerns, family of origin issues, communication problems, and control issues. She can help people who are dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose.

Eating and food-related issues are also part of her focus areas, and she brings a collaborative, client-centered attitude to those struggles. People who want to explore mood disorders, social anxiety, or women's concerns will find a straightforward and empathetic clinician ready to work with them.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-world change. One common approach she uses emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and depression, helping clients learn step-by-step strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on addressing trauma and strong emotions through paced conversation and grounding skills that help people tolerate difficult memories and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to identify what matters most, then adjusts methods to fit their goals and preferences. This lets clients try different strategies and keep what helps most as treatment progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can better fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make shorter check-ins easier during a workday. Others appreciate that online sessions can allow consistent weekly work even when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based techniques to remote settings, and Amy will discuss practical options with you when you begin.
