More about Amy
- 10 years' experience

- LPC
Hi! I'm Amy and I'm a licensed professional counselor in the state of Missouri. Along with my Master's of Science degree in Counseling Psychology, I have a post-master’s veteran behavioral health certificate. Over the past 8 years, I have worked across a wide spectrum of clients. I have experience with anxiety, depression, bipolar, substance use disorders, anger management, family conflict, crisis intervention, goal setting, and with clients just wanting to optimize their mental health.
My personal approach to therapy is to create a partnership with a client working towards the goals the client wants to achieve. From the first conversation until the end, I maintain unconditional positive regard towards my clients. I believe therapy can be both about coping skills and achieving goals, but also about the process of discovering yourself through talk therapy. I utilize cognitive-behavioral approaches, dialectical behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques depending on individual needs of clients.

About online counseling

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.

She’s amazing!
Amy is so great to work with. She guides me through our discussions in a gentle and respectful manner, and is very flexible in addressing issues as they come up.
Amy has been a gift in my life! She has helped me in innumerable ways and is always willing to meet me where I am.
Amy has been a constant support for me since I started seeing her a few months ago. She has been helpful in understanding my body and my response systems. I am extremely grateful for having her as my therapist!
Amy is approachable and immediately helped me to feel at ease. She meets me where I am and supports my attempts and successes.
Amy is extremely good at wading through all the BS that I'd usually throw up in front of my problems and keeps me focused on the progress that I can make in any situation. She's also very mindful of my limits, in energy and emotions, and does a good job keeping the progress we make realistic and pragmatic. I highly recommend Amy for anyone who has had an unconventional life and want to do better in it.
I feel like she understands me so well and is very helpful and encouraging. So glad I got matched with her!
I’ve been going through a lot and over time, it’s taken it toll on me. So far, Amy has done a great job of opening my eyes to reality and showing me what there is to appreciate. Mostly self-discovery, but in general, being happy with me. I’m glad that I’ve found her.
Amy is the best!
Amy has been amazing. Beyond amazing. She is really a GEM. It is so hard to find the right therapist but I got extremely lucky and was matched with Amy. She has opened my eyes to the way I think, feel, and the way I treat myself. She has given me such sound advice. I really appreciate Amy Creason.
Amy is an amazing therapist. she checks in regularly and i appreciate her for listening and helping me with different way to cope.
Amy is great! Super personable and welcoming and she has already helped me identify and work though some unproductive thought patterns, in just a couple sessions. I really like the way she includes me in our sessions - she’s never telling me exactly what to do, but rather guides me to reach my own conclusions and solutions.
I have had two sessions with Amy so far and have already started feeling much more able to cope with my feelings. She has started probing my responses to situations and this has helped me to analyse my reactions and feel more in control.
