Amy Seligson

Amy Seligson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who chose this path after personal experience with therapy as a child. She says early counseling helped her through her parents' separation and shaped her decision to help others in similar pain. Amy brings three years of professional experience to her practice and draws on both personal insight and formal training.

She earned a master’s degree in counseling from Wayne State University. Her background includes work as a special education teacher and as a counselor. Those roles gave her practical experience with children, adolescents, teens, and parents and inform how she talks with people about everyday struggles.

Amy uses trauma-focused approaches alongside client-centered work and evidence-based tools. She tends to focus on building a strong working relationship first. Then she helps people learn skills for stress, anxiety, mood, and relationship concerns so they can manage daily life more easily.

Common topics she addresses include trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related issues, addiction concerns, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. She also helps people with codependency, grief from divorce or separation, feelings of emptiness, and problems like guilt, shame, or isolation.

Amy practices in Colorado and offers services in English. She aims for straightforward, supportive conversations and practical steps people can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Amy uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process difficult experiences, using paced conversations and grounding strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills. Trauma-focused work can help when past events affect relationships, mood, or daily functioning.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which means sessions often follow what matters most to the person in the room. This approach focuses on listening carefully and responding with empathy so a person can find their own answers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her approach list as well and provides concrete tools. CBT helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, then try small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking to know what options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain continuity between visits. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions when time is limited and reduce travel requirements so people can focus on the work itself.
