About Amy
Amy Mitchell-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with 24 years of experience. She began her career as an educator and later moved into management and clinical work, bringing a practical perspective to therapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and related life challenges.
Her background includes 12 years teaching elementary students and 17 years in mid-level and senior management.
Background and approach
That mix of classroom experience and supervisory leadership shapes how she talks with clients. She uses clear, direct language and focuses on real-world skills you can use between sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions collaborative and respectful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports work on connection and intense feelings when relationships or intimacy are involved. Amy also brings experience supporting first responders, veterans, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and multicultural issues.
She has worked with people dealing with postpartum depression, career transitions, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her approach adapts to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed plan. Clients can expect sessions that focus on practical steps, honest conversation, and shared goal-setting.
She frames therapy as a cooperative process and works to help people build coping skills and clearer next steps in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and goals. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, listens carefully, and helps you name what matters most. It is useful for people who want a respectful, collaborative space to work through stress, life changes, or self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, depression, anger, and work-related stress because it emphasizes clear skills and short-term strategies.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions, especially around relationships and intimacy. It can be helpful when the goal is to better understand emotional responses and improve connection in close relationships.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and needs and suggest a mix of methods that fit. You and the therapist will review how an approach is working and adjust plans together as needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflections, or support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
