About Amy

Amy Nicolazzo is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Amy aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Amy offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about hard feelings. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be straightforward and grounded in everyday language. Her work addresses relationship concerns, grief, anger, and challenges tied to self-esteem and identity. Amy also pays attention to issues such as codependency, control struggles, emptiness, and the long shadow of family of origin problems.

She supports people contending with mood disorders, panic attacks, social anxiety, and compulsive impulses. Amy draws on several approaches to shape practical steps in therapy. Techniques may include values-based work, learning skills to manage intense emotions, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

The goal is to help clients try small, concrete changes between sessions so progress feels real and steady. Clients who prefer clear feedback and an empathic presence often find this approach useful. Amy encourages questions about how therapy will proceed and partners with each person to set realistic, personal goals.

How Amy’s Approaches Work Online

Amy uses Existential Therapy to help people clarify values and search for meaning when life feels empty or confusing. This approach is helpful for questions about life purpose, identity, and confronting big changes.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking steps toward what matters. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. In addition, Client-Centered Therapy provides an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experiences guide the work and the therapist reflects and listens closely.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Amy will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what helps and adjusts the plan together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a more traditional meeting feel. Phone work can fit into a busy day and requires less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
