Amy Parsons, LPC

Amy Parsons is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor who provides virtual-only therapy from Virginia. She holds two master’s degrees from Liberty University - a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Counseling and a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling with a focus on Marriage and Family - and brings ten years of clinical experience working with adults, children, and teens. Amy’s practice centers on common and complex concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and personality and mood disorders.

Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-based methods, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices; she is also trained in EMDR for trauma processing. Amy uses a warm, collaborative style to help individuals and families explore challenges, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. Therapy is offered through a virtual format that supports flexibility for clients seeking accessible, professional support across a range of life transitions and emotional struggles.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Amy Parsons draws on several evidence-based techniques to support healing and practical skill building. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills and can be especially helpful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges. She is also trained in EMDR, an approach that can assist clients in processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each person and their family when appropriate to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many clients - sessions by video or phone and options for live chat or text-based messaging allow for scheduling flexibility and access from home or other convenient locations. These formats help people maintain continuity of care around work, school, and family commitments while working with licensed professionals who focus on measurable, evidence-based progress.
