About Amy
Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She focuses on building a respectful working relationship and helps clients set practical goals they can work toward.
With ten years of experience, she draws on straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions mix skill-building with talk therapy so people learn new ways to respond in stressful moments. She works with people facing depression, addictions, ADHD, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and career or vocational concerns.
Anger and impulsivity are included among her focus areas. Amy has a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology and a post-master’s veteran behavioral health certificate. She has spent years in varied clinical settings helping people with crisis intervention, goal setting, and improving daily coping skills.
Her approach balances practical strategies with time to reflect and understand what matters to each person. Sessions are offered in English and use conversational, plain language. She aims to treat each person with consistent respect and to tailor methods to fit individual goals rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Amy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and action-focused, which makes it easy to practice skills between sessions and track progress.She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. DBT techniques are useful when someone struggles with intense emotions or impulsive reactions and can be practiced during or between online sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, current challenges, and what methods feel most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor a plan that mixes problem-solving, skills practice, and conversation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visible cues and practice in-session skills. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in when bandwidth is limited or cameras are impractical. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, homework check-ins, or a shorter way to connect between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while using the approaches described above.
