Amy Gatch, LCSW, LISW-CP

Amy Gatch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with credentials LCSW and LISW-CP, authorized to practice in North Carolina and South Carolina. With 16 years of clinical experience, she has supported children, young adults, and families through a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, intellectual disability, grief, and life transitions.

Amy brings experience from both school and clinical settings to her work, helping clients navigate emotional and practical problems while building skills for long-term coping. She draws on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to offer clear, goal-oriented strategies alongside a compassionate therapeutic presence.

In sessions she focuses on developing a collaborative working relationship, listening closely to each person’s priorities, and identifying realistic, achievable goals. Amy aims to be both a sounding board and a source of tools and knowledge that clients can use between meetings. She welcomes those seeking help with self-esteem, communication and intimacy issues, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and challenges common to young adulthood, and she supports families working through emotional or behavioral concerns.

Amy practices from South Carolina and provides care in English. She works with clients through a variety of remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and needs.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving. She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term, goal-oriented method that concentrates on strengths and specific steps clients can take to move toward their preferred outcomes, which can be helpful for people looking for clear, actionable progress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Amy collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then tailors techniques and session structure accordingly so treatment feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Amy offers flexibility - sessions can be held by video call, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules or when in-person meetings are not practical. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care and make it simpler for clients to access therapy from home or work.
