Amie Bishop , LPC, LCPC

Amie Bishop is an open-minded, nonjudgmental licensed counselor who creates a welcoming space for people from many walks of life. She brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work and draws on an eclectic mix of methods because she believes one size does not fit all. Her approach emphasizes practical goal-setting, clearer communication, and stronger relationships while honoring each client's unique circumstances and identity.

She has supported professionals, parents, young adults, members of minority communities, people involved in the criminal justice system, individuals with substance use concerns and other addictions, and those affected by trauma, natural or human-caused disasters, and homelessness. With a particular interest in sexual dysfunction and intimate relationship challenges, she approaches clients with unconditional positive regard and respect for alternative lifestyles and nontraditional relationship structures.

She works collaboratively with clients to define goals and outline concrete steps toward those aims, framing counseling as a partnership. Amie holds the credentials LPC and LCPC - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LCPC for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and she offers messaging, live chat, and live phone sessions, typically during evening hours on weekdays and daytime hours on Saturday.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amie draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person's perspective and fostering a collaborative, respectful relationship to support growth and self-directed change. This approach is helpful for clients seeking empathy, validation, and support during life transitions or when exploring identity and values.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it can be effective for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another tool in her practice, offering concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is often helpful for people coping with intense emotions or difficulty maintaining stable relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow ongoing access to a licensed professional from different locations and support consistent progress through multiple communication choices.
