Amy Phelps, LPC

Amy Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and clinical supervisor practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of clinical experience. The LPC credential indicates state licensure to provide professional psychotherapy, and her board certification in clinical supervision reflects formal training to mentor and oversee other clinicians.

She applies an evidence-informed, person-centered and trauma-informed approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These frameworks are blended to match each client’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

As both a practicing clinician and a clinical director, she emphasizes transparency, collaboration and accountability in treatment. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and attachment issues, trauma and abuse, addictions and recovery, mood disorders, eating and body image struggles, parenting and family dynamics, sleep and self-esteem problems, and other areas noted in her specialties.

Her lived experience in recovery, including marking eleven years of sobriety as of November 2025, together with a devotion to motherhood and faith, shapes a compassionate and pragmatic therapeutic style. She prefers maintaining small caseloads and flexible scheduling to prioritize individualized care, and she values ongoing professional development and supervision to support long-term growth for clients and clinicians alike. Former clients have described her as attentive, nurturing, flexible, knowledgeable and direct in communication.

Tailoring Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, mood concerns and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape expectations about connection and safety. It supports work on relationship patterns, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment and blended family or parenting challenges by strengthening secure ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior by teaching practical skills for shifting responses. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and behavior changes such as those involved in addiction recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their goals, preferences and situation. Licensed professionals tailor interventions as needs evolve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for schedules, caregiving responsibilities and geographic limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from home or work while preserving consistency in treatment progress.
