About Amy
Amy Klein is a licensed clinical social worker who blends practical therapy tools with mindfulness and storytelling. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and a down-to-earth way of working that helps people facing grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes. Amy holds an LMSW (licensed master social worker) and a LICSW (licensed independent clinical social worker) and practices from Michigan.
Amy uses a mix of mind-body approaches like mindfulness and yoga alongside cognitive methods to help people notice patterns and take small steps toward change. She draws on long experience in community settings, schools, a medical clinic, a medium-security prison, and work with a Native tribe. Those settings shaped her ability to hold emotional space and to listen without judgment.
Her early work included in-home family therapy and case management for parents involved with child protective services, and a Peace Corps placement supporting youth at risk in Kingston, Jamaica. This background informs how she supports people dealing with trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns.
Amy also integrates creative tools like storytelling, art, music, and gentle movement into sessions when helpful. She describes herself as an empath and mixes practical skills with personal practices such as yoga and Reiki to help people reconnect with an inner compass. Her approach aims to be human, clear, and accessible.

How these approaches translate to online care
Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be helpful for grief, anxiety, and coping with life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety.She also brings a client-centered, mindfulness-informed stance. That means sessions often start with listening, grounding practices, and gentle exploration of what matters most to the person. The process is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which tools to try and how to adjust them over time.
If you prefer online care, confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many clients find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for steady check-ins during transitions such as caregiving, illness, or bereavement. Discuss your goals and practical needs during the matching steps so the therapist can recommend the best way to work together.
