About Amaryllis

Amaryllis Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings 23 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, and life changes.

Her style centers on listening and building a trusting relationship. She creates a calm space where people can talk about hard things without feeling judged. She encourages small steps that feel doable and meaningful for each person.

Background and approach

Amaryllis uses several practical approaches, including Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves, test unhelpful thoughts, and try new behavior patterns. Mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also part of her toolbox when they match a person's goals.

She has worked across settings over more than two decades, which gives her experience with addiction, grief, caregiver strain, and work-related stress. That background informs how she helps people plan next steps, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence. Starting therapy with Amaryllis is presented as a collaborative process.

She guides people through decision points, helps set realistic goals, and adjusts the approach as needs change. Her aim is to help people feel heard and to find practical ways to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Amaryllis often uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they carry about themselves. That approach looks at how life events and relationships shape personal narratives and supports people in naming new possibilities. Client-Centered Therapy is another element of her work and focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people lead the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, targets patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amaryllis works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the mix of narrative listening, skill-building, and mindfulness depending on what proves helpful in early sessions.
