About Amaryllis
Amaryllis Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and other common life challenges.
She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear tools and small experiments to test what works. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches she uses alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based methods.
Amaryllis helps people address relationship stress, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, and the difficulty of coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, codependency, and substance use problems.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and concrete steps. Conversations will include identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and adjusting strategies based on what helps. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used at times to shift perspective and build coping routines.
Clients can expect a mix of discussion, skills practice, and short homework between sessions when useful. Amaryllis aims to make sessions practical and focused on everyday life tasks and decisions. She accepts English-speaking international clients who wish to work with a Michigan LPC.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Amaryllis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors in daily life. CBT sessions focus on specific skills, practical steps, and measurable progress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening and working at the clients pace, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and shifting approach if something isnt working.
The profile does not list explicit session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example a shorter check-in call can fit a lunch break, or a video session can avoid travel time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler when web connections are unreliable. These practical benefits help clients use therapy consistently while keeping it realistic for everyday life.
