About Amy
Amy De Nardo-Kaczmarek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage anxiety so people can feel calmer day to day. Amy helps people who struggle with sleep problems, anger, and career-related stress.
She also supports those facing major life changes and the ongoing strain of caregiving or chronic illness. Her work addresses everyday problems like money worries, loneliness, and trouble with communication.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Amy aims to build a space where people can say what they really think and feel without judgement. She uses proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to set clear goals and track progress.
Her approach emphasizes skills you can use between meetings. That may include practical coping strategies for panic or mood shifts, steps to improve sleep, and tools to handle impulsive reactions. She helps people consider forgiveness, reduce guilt, and strengthen self-worth.
Amy works with English-speaking clients from South Carolina and with international clients as well. She offers several session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To get started, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with her practice.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One approach commonly used is behavioral strategies to improve sleep and reduce anxiety by establishing routines and small habit changes that lead to steadier nights and less daytime worry. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions like anger and impulsivity, teaching concrete steps to pause, assess, and respond differently when reactions flare.Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and doable. That shared decision making helps shape sessions to fit individual needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues when that helps, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging makes quick check-ins and brief coaching possible between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep momentum toward goals.
