About Amy
Amy Creason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and grief. Amy also addresses concerns like ADHD, self-esteem, anger, parenting stress, and codependency.
Amy uses a partnership model in sessions. She aims to help people set and meet practical goals while also using conversation to notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions often include concrete skills for managing emotions alongside discussion about values and choices.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a post-master's veteran behavioral health certificate. Over the past decade she has worked with a wide range of people, including those navigating substance use or crisis situations, first responder stress, and family-of-origin problems.
Therapy with Amy blends cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior tools with motivational interviewing and mindfulness exercises. That mix lets her teach coping skills, practice new responses in session, and return to bigger goals like rebuilding self-worth or changing relationship habits.
People who come to her often want straightforward help with boundaries, codependency patterns, or impulsive behavior. She helps people notice automatic thoughts, try different behaviors, and track what does and does not work in everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches are applied in online sessions
Amy commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so the person can work toward goals they choose. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. DBT offers skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Amy will talk with the person about their needs, preferences, and what they want to change, then suggest which techniques to try first. She adjusts the mix of skill-building and talk therapy based on what a person finds useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days because they can save travel time, schedule shorter check-ins, or drop in between commitments. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness exercises or skills practice during a normal day. Ask about available formats and how sessions are scheduled when you book the first appointment.
