Amy Seligson, LPC

Amy Seligson was inspired to become a therapist by her own early experiences with counseling. When her parents separated, a counselor helped her navigate that difficult transition and she remembers how meaningful that support was during a time of change. That formative experience planted a desire to offer others similar guidance and to help people find clearer paths forward.

Over the years she continued to seek counseling intermittently, recognizing how those conversations shaped her perspective and personal growth. Those experiences deepened her commitment to therapeutic work and motivated her to provide compassionate support to others facing life challenges.

She earned a Masters in Counseling from Wayne State University and has held roles as a special education teacher and as a counselor. She has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and parents, and draws on both professional training and lived experience to inform her approach. Her education, career, and personal history have combined to shape the clinician she is today and the way she supports individuals and families in transition.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amy Seligson integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to meet each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping individuals feel heard and supported while they explore their goals and values. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for relationship struggles and emotion regulation challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Amy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what resonates with each person and adjusts over time as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations, while allowing for continuity of care and varied ways to engage in the work of therapy.
