About Amy
Amy Keller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 31 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing low self-esteem, trouble communicating, and painful feelings like guilt or shame. She focuses on practical steps that help clients feel more capable and kinder to themselves.
Amy uses a client-centered way of working that starts with listening. She respects each person’s values and beliefs and builds goals together. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, finding direction, and repairing the effects of past hurts.
Her experience includes supporting people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. She also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, blended family adjustments, and difficulties linked to separation and divorce. Amy pays attention to how personality patterns like avoidant or dependent traits affect daily life.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. That might include practicing new ways to speak up, setting manageable goals, or learning to tolerate uncomfortable feelings. The pace is steady and based on what the client feels ready to try.
Amy practices in California and provides care in English. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy
Amy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and usable skills. One approach helps people build stronger self-esteem by identifying critical self-talk and practicing kinder, more realistic self-statements. Another approach focuses on communication skills - teaching concise ways to express needs and listen so conversations feel less overwhelming and more productive.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their concerns, goals, and preferences, and then decide together which techniques to try. Clients and therapist check progress and adapt methods if something does not feel like the right fit.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life because it reduces travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to attend from a convenient place and can help maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
