Amy Spallinger, LCSW

Amy Spallinger is licensed in Indiana and brings 22 years of professional experience to her clinical work. She holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, challenges with motivation, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and depression.

Amy approaches therapy from the viewpoint that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be applied to overcome present difficulties. She acknowledges the courage required to begin therapy and expresses pride in those who take that first step toward seeking support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amy Spallinger draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing strategies to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can be helpful for persistent worry and mood challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating distressing experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact and is used for responses related to trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts strategies as the work progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to suit individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to access care from different locations across Indiana, and allow people to choose the communication style that fits their comfort and daily life.
