About Amy
Amy Crabtree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Tennessee with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, substance use, grief, and other life changes. Amy uses practical strategies to address everyday problems and goal-focused sessions to make progress together.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work. Amy completed the requirements for her LCSW in 2012 and spent 12 years working in community mental health as an outpatient therapist. That background includes experience with a wide range of ages and clinical presentations and work in substance abuse treatment programs.
Amy’s approach centers on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test different responses. Sessions are about setting clear, achievable goals chosen by the client and practicing skills between meetings.
In sessions she emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental stance while keeping the work concrete and structured. People who want step-by-step tools to manage anxiety, cope with grief, reduce problematic behaviors, or address relationship and parenting stress may find this style useful.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The structure of ongoing work varies by the goals people bring and the skills they want to build.
How Cognitive Behavioral Work Transfers to Online Sessions
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT in online sessions focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts, practicing different responses, and assigning short exercises between meetings to build new habits. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and behavior change.The aim is practical and collaborative. She will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit those goals. Together they review what helps and what needs adjusting so the plan evolves based on what the client reports and practices.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins alongside work or family commitments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is limited, while others choose video to use visual cues during skill practice. Ask about current format options when scheduling.
