About Amy

Amy Prokopowicz is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing addiction, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. She draws on 15 years of experience to offer steady, practical support for everyday struggles. Amy aims to help clients regain balance and move toward goals in manageable steps.

Amy uses straightforward, goal-oriented work in sessions. She blends client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means she listens first, then helps people try changes that feel realistic for their lives.

Amy spent a decade providing solution-focused counseling to active duty military and their families, which added experience working around high-stress life demands. She emphasizes the mind-body connection and supports mental, physical, spiritual, and financial self-care where relevant.

Outside of practice, Amy is a single older mom to a toddler and understands how life disruptions can throw routines off. She works collaboratively to set concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Her goal is to support people as they build steadier routines and healthier habits.

If you are managing addiction, chronic illness, caregiving strain, or grief, Amy offers practical strategies combined with empathic listening to help you move forward.

How Amy’s Approaches Shape Online Care

Amy combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions that focus on what matters now. Client-centered work means she listens closely and follows the client’s priorities while offering empathy and reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy brings concrete tools to change thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addiction.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people resolve ambivalence about change. That approach is useful when someone wants to cut back on substances, start a new routine, or make health-related changes by building intrinsic motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your style, and adjust over time based on what helps. She aims to create short-term goals and practical experiments clients can try between sessions so progress feels achievable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example sessions can be arranged around work breaks, reduce travel time, or allow simpler check-ins when energy is low. Discussing timing and format up front helps shape a plan that fits daily routines and treatment goals.
