About Amy
Amy Svoboda is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and career concerns. She also works with concerns related to attachment, abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, and first responder or veteran issues.
Her sessions are practical and structured. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Conversations focus on what people can try between sessions and how to change daily habits that keep problems going.
Amy uses a client-centered stance, which means she pays attention to each person’s priorities and preferences while offering clear strategies. She combines different approaches rather than relying on one single method. That lets her shift methods if someone needs a different way to move forward.
Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings and roles as a therapist and director. That experience covers short-term problem-focused work and longer-term therapeutic issues. She has worked with individuals, couples, and family-related concerns across a range of difficulties.
People who choose her can expect straightforward planning, homework or practice between sessions, and regular review of progress. She asks clients to identify practical goals and tracks small steps toward them. To begin, prospective clients follow the site flow to see online therapy options and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How CBT, ACT and attachment ideas are used online
Amy frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical experiments and homework to shift patterns that keep stress and anxiety active.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand patterns in close relationships and to try new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work, family, or medical commitments while still using practical CBT and ACT strategies.
