Dr. Amy Still, LCSW

Dr. Amy Still is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, or addictions. She meets clients where they are and treats the choice to start therapy as an important first step.

She works from the view that each person knows their own story best. In sessions she helps people identify strengths they already have and use those strengths to face hard moments. She offers calm, straightforward guidance and practical steps rather than jargon or long lectures.

Her work includes support for people coping with trauma and abuse, panic or social anxiety, low self-esteem, and the strain of parenting and life changes. She also supports concerns such as body image, isolation, guilt, and problems with control or communication. Dr. Still helps people untangle painful feelings and build better day-to-day coping skills.

She aims to make therapy understandable and useful. Conversations focus on small, achievable changes and on what clients can try between sessions. Dr. Still encourages questions about the process and adjusts her pace to match each person’s needs.

If you want straightforward help with stress, mood, or addictive behaviors, she offers a direct, respectful approach that centers your goals. Select the Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your availability.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Dr. Still uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people learn specific coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its effects by gently working through memories and reactions while building safety and emotional tools to manage distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then tries methods that fit those aims. That plan can shift over time as needs change and as the client and therapist learn what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
