About Amy

Amy Roth is a licensed counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She practices with a focus on the needs of each person who comes to her. Amy holds LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and works from South Dakota.

Amy trained at South Dakota State University and earned a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Resource Development in 2007. She has more than 15 years of experience in clinical settings and has worked with a wide range of concerns and ages. These years have shaped a practical style that centers on immediate needs and realistic goals.

Her approach is collaborative and flexible. Amy listens for what is most distressing, then uses methods that fit each person’s situation. She draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work when designing treatment.

Amy commonly helps people facing mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, identity and gender questions, grief, and burnout or compassion fatigue. She often works with people aged 15 and up but has experience across the lifespan.

She offers options for meeting that aim to fit daily life. When starting, she focuses on clear goals, simple tools, and practical steps people can try between sessions. The emphasis is on steady progress and adjusting the plan as needed.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Amy commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce the impact of past harm. This approach focuses on understanding how past events affect current reactions and building practical skills to feel safer and more in control.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people notice how they connect with others and practice new ways of relating that feel more dependable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so therapy stays relevant and practical.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist’s biography notes flexibility in meeting methods, so ask about what formats are available and what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy is simpler to maintain. Licensed professionals can help turn these conveniences into steady progress by focusing on realistic goals and tools you can use between meetings.
