About Amy

Amy Brant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, codependency, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with intimacy, parenting, or major life changes.

She began her career as a special needs teacher and public school guidance counselor in 1998, then completed her LMFT to focus more directly on how family history shapes adult choices. Her background gives her a long view on how patterns form over time and how they affect daily life.

Amy adapts to what each person needs. Some people make steady progress with shorter, solution-focused work. Others benefit from a slower, educational and collaborative approach that looks at past events and current goals. She uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, and skills-based methods.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Amy listens, helps sort out patterns that keep repeating, and practices new ways of responding. She also addresses related issues like addiction, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness, and ADHD when those concerns come up.

Her style suits people who want clear options and real-world steps for setting boundaries, reducing people-pleasing, and finding more balance between caring for others and caring for themselves.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Amy draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical work that often includes simple exercises to test what works and what does not. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; it focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that matter even when emotions are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how earlier relationships influence current patterns and closeness with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to problems like anxiety, codependency, grief, or relationship strain.

The therapist’s session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting people choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and attachment-focused exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
