About Amy
Amy Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and substance concerns, and stress related to parenting, work, and life changes. Amy also supports people dealing with grief, eating concerns, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and challenges around self-esteem and body image.
Her way of working is practical and collaborative. She centers clients' stories and uses narrative ideas alongside cognitive and acceptance-based techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on naming patterns, testing small changes, and building everyday routines that feel manageable. Amy draws on several familiar approaches, including Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She blends these to match each person’s goals rather than following one rigid method.
She also brings long experience supervising clinicians and supporting clinical teams. That background informs how she organizes care and partners with people on longer-term goals. Her own recovery experience informs her perspective on addiction and relapse prevention.
Amy practices from Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

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
How narrative and acceptance approaches translate online
Amy commonly uses Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite how they understand difficult events, which can reduce shame and open new choices. ACT focuses on values and small committed actions, helping people move toward what matters even when strong emotions are present.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. That work helps people notice interaction cycles and try different ways of relating to partners or caregivers. Together these approaches aim to make everyday choices feel clearer and more connected to each person’s values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy treats choosing methods as a collaborative process that depends on the client’s goals, comfort, and what seems to help in early sessions. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so the plan fits how someone actually lives and copes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping a consistent connection with a licensed professional.
