Amy Petrill, LISW

Amy Petrill is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, and life changes. Her practice also includes support for parenting concerns, workplace stress, and mood or attention challenges.

She frames therapy as a practical collaboration. Clients are treated as the experts on their lives while she offers structure and direction. Sessions focus on clear steps, skills practice, and noticing patterns that keep problems stuck rather than on blaming or labeling.

Amy draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with moment-to-moment tension and reactivity.

Her style is straightforward and focused on small, doable changes. For someone who snaps at loved ones, carries workplace resentment, or feels overwhelmed by ongoing stress, sessions aim to reduce reactive urges and build better coping habits. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what’s changing.

Amy accepts clients from the U.S. and international clients in English. She works with adults across a wide range of concerns including chronic pain, postpartum mood shifts, and social anxiety. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
