Amy Seligson , LPC

Amy Seligson was drawn to therapy by the real, personal changes she experienced after attending counseling as a child to process her parents' separation. That early support helped her move through a painful family transition and planted a desire to help others find clarity and relief through counseling. Over the years she continued to engage in therapy herself, crediting it with shaping who she became and inspiring her decision to guide others toward healthier paths.

Amy earned a Master of Counseling from Wayne State University and has worked as a special education teacher and as a counselor. Those roles gave her hands-on experience with children, adolescents, teens, and parents, and helped her develop skills for addressing family dynamics, trauma, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. With three years of professional experience, she blends her training and life experience to support clients through difficult transitions and to help them build more fulfilling relationships and stronger self-understanding.

She holds the credential LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - a credential indicating professional training and licensure to provide counseling services. Amy draws on her background in education and counseling to offer compassionate, client-focused support tailored to each person she works with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own experience, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach helps with relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and decisions about life purpose by focusing on the client’s values and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. It is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns of behavior that contribute to difficulties, offering practical tools to change unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It can be especially helpful for clients coping with anger, emotional instability, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time to find what works best.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
