- 17 years' experience

My name is Amy Gorton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 17 years of clinical experience. My specialty area is primarily focused around women's issues and women's health but I also work with clients with a wide range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family issues, school/career challenges, life changes as well as grief and loss, OCD and ADD/ADHD. My treatment style is warm, interactive and compassionate. I believe in earning respect through giving respect. My treatment approach combines Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic and Family Systems Theories. I will tailor the therapeutic sessions to meet your unique and specific needs and goals. It takes courage to ask for help and to accept help so if you are ready to take that step, I look forward to meeting you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amy Gorton is excellent. I had never been through therapy before purchasing BetterHelp. I started with some therapists who just didn’t mesh well with my needs or conversation style. I was then finally matched with Amy Gorton, and she has been wonderful. She’s soothing, calm, and has great insights into my concerns. When I brought up the many things going on in my life bringing me to BetterHelp, she worked through them with me and helped me power through major life changes. I cannot recommend her enough.
Amy is a great listener with questions that are very relevant to what I'm sharing. She is insightful, kind and makes you feel seen, heard and understood.
Amy’s great! Doesn’t hesitate to give advice and confirm “you aren’t crazy”. (Which we all need at times) I’ve already recommended her and Better Help to a friend.
Love Amy!
Amy is so intelligent and a great listener. She has helped boost my confidence and helped me through some strong feelings.
Amy Gorton has been unbelievably helpful in my journey through burnout and job changes. She listens well and offers thoughtful advice. Her schedule is flexible as well, so despite my hectic and sometimes chaotic work schedule, I can meet once a week and not feel stressed about missing appointments (because they’re at convenient times for me)! I am completely satisfied with the bedside manner and skill set of this practitioner.
Good listener. Very understanding and supportive.
Amy kindly supports me in identifying my priorities and helps me to make plans that improve the quality of my life and my mental health. She listens well and is very understanding. I can tell she really cares about the well being of her clients.
Amy is a great listener, really helped me through a difficult couple of months. highly recommend
I love Amy! She is so personable, and I have really enjoyed my time talking to her!
So far so good, we are still getting to know each other. We’ve only had 3 sessions but I am excited to continue working with her.
Amy has been great! She really likes just talking about life and really remembering what I say during the sessions and brings them back up the following week, which is extremely impressive.
Your great!
Thus far Amy has been wonderful to work with, loads of experience and different approaches and recovery tactics. A great listener who knows when to speak up when needed and frames concepts well
Amy is extremely supportive and consistently makes time for sessions!
So far Amy has been great, super supportive and helping me work through a time of transition. I appreciate her and her input!
She is very helpful and really cares and helps me understand why I feel the way I do
You rock
Amy Gorton is a great listener and is just a really good therapist in general. She has helped me navigate my areas of concern greatly. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is starting therapy for the first time!
Amy is the best! She is professional, understandable, gives great advise and listens to me very attentively. She remembers everything from our previous sessions which gives me a feeling of having someone close to me by my side.
Amy is wonderful and extremely helpful, but I feel like BetterHelp proves to be unaffordable to the people could benefit the most.
