About Amy
Amy Brant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. She brings 30 years of experience in counseling and education to sessions. Amy listens closely and focuses on what matters to each person she meets.
Her background began in special education and school guidance. Those roles shaped her belief that people’s pasts and family stories influence present choices.
Background and approach
She later pursued an LMFT to work more deeply with those patterns. Amy uses a mix of practical approaches depending on the need. She draws on Narrative ideas to revisit the stories people tell about themselves.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with thoughts, emotions, and behavior changes. In sessions she aims to be warm and straightforward. She works to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Amy often combines listening with concrete strategies clients can try between sessions. She has supported people around issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting, chronic illness, codependency, body image, and ADHD-related struggles. Her practice is shaped by years of hands-on work in schools and community settings.
Clients can expect practical guidance and steady support while they work toward their goals.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Amy directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches that shape online sessions
Amy often uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That work can uncover unhelpful messages from the past and open space for new, preferred stories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another common approach she uses; it focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her approach too and can help people understand how early bonds influence current closeness and trust.Choosing an approach is a joint process. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which mix of methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact when distance or schedules make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief updates, coaching-style support between sessions, or a different way to share thoughts when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic work.
