About Amie
Amie Eipers is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years in private practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. Her practice also addresses grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and codependency-related patterns.
Amie treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps people identify small, practical changes to try. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation about behaviors, patterns, and choices rather than jargon-heavy explanations.
Her background includes long-term clinical work that informed how she approaches difficult material. Amie focuses on building skills for managing intense feelings, setting limits, and repairing trust with oneself. She often helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and consider different responses.
In sessions she combines problem-solving with space to talk about painful events. Clients work on concrete tools for coping with anxiety and stress, and on communication strategies for conversations that feel risky. The work also covers grief, boundary-setting, and issues tied to family of origin or past trauma.
People who come for help with codependency-related patterns will find practical steps for saying no, clarifying values, and reducing caretaking that comes at personal cost. Amie accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Amie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focussed on managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. One common avenue is teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing activities, and short behavioral experiments to test new responses. These techniques help reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.Another frequent focus is addressing patterns that show up in relationships and caregiving. That work centers on noticing automatic responses, practicing boundary-setting language, and rehearsing different ways to respond when others make demands. It is aimed at helping people act in line with their values rather than automatic caretaking habits.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amie will work with each client to clarify goals and try techniques that fit their needs and preferences. If one method does not feel useful, she and the client will adjust the approach together until it fits better.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow continuity when circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure meeting times to best support progress.
