About Amy
Amy Crabtree is a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee with 15 years of professional experience. She uses a practical, thought-focused approach to help people manage strong emotions and everyday challenges. Amy meets people where they are and works without judgment to support the goals they set for themselves.
She earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in social work, completing the requirements for her LCSW in 2012.
Background and approach
Much of her career was spent in community mental health as an outpatient therapist, where she worked with a wide range of concerns and life circumstances. That background includes time supporting people in substance abuse treatment programs. Amy often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and grief.
She also supports those facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting stress, issues with intimacy, eating concerns, addiction-related problems, and anger. She brings steady compassion and respect to each session. Her practice centers on the idea that thoughts influence feelings and actions.
Sessions focus on practical strategies a person can use to shift thinking patterns and try new behaviors between meetings. Amy works collaboratively so clients choose goals and pace. People can expect straightforward conversations and concrete steps.
Amy aims to build coping skills that fit daily life, whether someone needs help with career stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar management, or navigating changes. She encourages small steps and values steady progress.

Practical approaches for online support
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a central tool in Amy's online work. It focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and many everyday challenges.Amy's style emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step skills. Together the therapist and client decide which strategies to try and when to adjust them. That collaborative testing helps find what fits a person's life and goals rather than prescribing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different needs. Video calls suit deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text can be used for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
