Amy Wesley, LPC, LCMHC

Amy Wesley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who works primarily with young adults, parents, and families. With nine years of clinical experience, she aims to support clients through transitions, relationship challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and the everyday stresses that affect well-being.

Amy integrates several evidence-informed methods into a person-centered framework, blending skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to meet each person where they are. She holds certifications in DBT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and is completing training in EMDR, applying these tools selectively to address emotional regulation, trauma-related symptoms, and goal-driven change.

Her professional focus includes issues such as blended family dynamics, communication and commitment struggles, parenting and fatherhood concerns, social anxiety, self-esteem and self-love, and the unique pressures faced by young adults and women. Amy believes in a therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and nonjudgmental acceptance - conditions she views as essential for people to build skills, adjust to life challenges, and pursue meaningful growth.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Amy Wesley draws on several therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings so clients can move toward a meaningful life - it often helps with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adapting techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with the client’s needs.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access consistent support, try different session formats, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who use evidence-informed methods.
