Amy Flores, LCSW

Amy Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She has five years as a clinician and a decade of experience supporting people with behavior and social-emotional challenges. Amy works with children, adolescents, and individuals who bring concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and relationship stress. She emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered stance and approaches each person with respect and warmth.

She uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven into sessions when they fit the client’s goals. Amy also brings experience addressing parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem, and family conflict.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Amy listens first to understand what a person already does well. Then she helps them build on those strengths and try new ways of coping. Parents and caregivers can expect concrete strategies for behavior and communication challenges.

Amy aims to create a trustworthy working relationship where clients feel heard and understood. She invites clients to set the pace and direction of therapy. Progress is usually practical and goal-oriented, with attention to emotional safety and real-life problem solving.

If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Amy uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that translate well to online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead so they feel understood and respected. This approach helps people set goals that matter to them and shape sessions around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferred pace. That means checking in about what helps, trying different techniques, and adjusting as goals evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for visual cues, while others prefer an audio call for a quieter, less involved setup. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and daily routines before your first session.
