Amra Mesic, LMHC

Amra Mesic is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who combines advanced training and practical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of North Florida, a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University, and a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from Capella University - a doctoral degree focused on the study of human behavior and clinical practice. Amra is fluent in English and Bosnian and has provided individual, family, and group therapy throughout her career.

She draws from multiple therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), solution-focused techniques, and client-centered approaches, to offer practical tools tailored to each person’s needs. As an LMHC, she emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where sessions are adapted to reflect each client’s identity, goals, and cultural background. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and family conflict, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Amra aims to partner with clients through the therapeutic process, offering structured strategies alongside compassionate support. Please note that she is not able to provide therapy to people who live in Duval County.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Amra Mesic commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in exploring their values and personal strengths. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she may integrate; ACT focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Amra can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or elsewhere, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care across changing life situations.
