Amy Kilgore, LPC

Amy Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. As an LPC she is a licensed mental health professional who provides psychotherapy and guidance to individuals and families. She combines formal training with a lifetime of personal experience and grounds her work in a gospel-informed worldview that shapes her sense of hope, care, and purpose.

Amy has developed a broad clinical background treating a wide range of concerns across the lifespan. She is trained in EMDR, an evidence-based trauma treatment, and frequently supports people working through trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, addictions, relational and family issues, eating-related concerns, personality challenges, and grief and loss. She understands how unresolved grief and fear can underlie many clinical symptoms and looks for practical ways to address those roots.

Amy emphasizes that each person is the expert of their own story and approaches therapy with respect, compassion, and collaboration. She offers a blend of evidence-informed techniques and empathic support to help clients navigate life changes, parenting and intimacy struggles, communication difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She invites potential clients to reach out to explore whether they might be a good match.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Amy Kilgore

Amy often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, a practical approach that helps people identify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and persistent worry. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns formed in early relationships and to strengthen connection, which can help with intimacy concerns, attachment issues, and relationship struggles. In addition, Amy is trained in EMDR, a trauma-focused method that can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact for those recovering from abuse or traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so care feels personalized and practical.

Online therapy with Amy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to be integrated into a client’s daily life in ways that suit scheduling and comfort.
