About Amy
Amy Roth is an LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health) in South Dakota and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 15 years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are organized around what each person needs in the moment and what they want to accomplish.
Amy trained in counseling after earning a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Resource Development from South Dakota State University in 2007. Over the last 15 years she has worked across a broad age range and with a wide variety of concerns. She currently prefers working with people aged 15 and older but has experience with all ages.
Her work uses straightforward, practical methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based approaches, client-centered techniques, DBT skills, and mindfulness practices as fits the person and concern. Conversations focus on patterns that cause distress and on simple strategies to shift thoughts, behaviors, and routines.
In sessions she highlights goals and clear next steps. Expect concrete skills, short experiments to try between visits, and check-ins on what is and isn’t helping. The plan is adjusted as progress or obstacles appear.
Amy also addresses issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation, family of origin problems, panic, mood and personality concerns, and struggles with purpose, emptiness, or impulsivity. She aims to make therapy practical and usable for day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas in ways that fit online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses through short experiments, skill building, and structured practice. That can translate to clear homework, mood tracking, and brief skills practice between sessions.Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current expectations. Online conversations can map those patterns, practice different ways of asking for needs, and rehearse new interaction styles with feedback.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that make sense for the issue, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the person’s preferences and daily life shape the plan.
The original biography mentions video, live chat, and phone sessions as formats offered in the past; confirm which formats are currently available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use tools like screen-shared worksheets, mood trackers, and guided breathing exercises during the session to practice skills in the moment.
