About Amy
Amy Klein is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and anger. Sessions often address life transitions, career pressures, and challenges that build resentment or lead to frequent outbursts.
Amy uses a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies alongside mindfulness practices. Yoga, breathwork, and creative methods are sometimes part of sessions when they fit the person's goals. Amy blends contemporary approaches with storytelling and some Jungian ideas to help people notice repeated patterns of thought and behavior.
Her background includes long-term social work roles in community settings, in-home family programs, a medical clinic, rural schools, a Native tribe, and a medium-security prison. She also served in the Peace Corps and has experience leading groups. Those roles shaped her interest in stress, trauma, and coping skills for people living with complex life pressures.
Amy frames therapy as practical skill-building alongside reflective work. Clients learn ways to recognize triggers, respond differently in heated moments, and build routines that reduce chronic irritation. She encourages small daily practices that support calmer responses.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details via the site matching steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Amy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings appear. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills for changing patterns that lead to angry reactions. Mindfulness practices help people notice rising tension and choose a response rather than react automatically.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, strengths, and preferences. That might mean starting with behavioral skills and adding mindfulness or movement practices over time as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use brief breaks for appointments. Therapists typically adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
