Amy is very helpful, articulate, and supportive. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and with more clarity. She is kind and responsive and I am so happy I get to work with her each week!

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.

My name is Amy Gorton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 17 years of clinical experience.

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.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.
