Amy Schlatter, LPC

Amy Schlatter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She emphasizes practical steps adults can take to steady their mood and cope with difficult events. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at people who need clear support and tools they can use right away.

Amy uses a holistic, integrative view that looks at mind, body, and spirit together. She draws on her background in education and years working with children and families to shape sessions that are concrete and easy to follow. Sessions often focus on building awareness of patterns, improving communication, and developing coping skills that fit daily life.

Her work includes attention to attachment issues, dissociation, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and concerns related to addiction and domestic violence. Amy also supports people facing cancer and those navigating divorce or separation, helping them find steady ways to move forward.

She combines ideas from mindfulness, yoga, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, internal family systems ideas, and cognitive-behavioral concepts to create practical plans. These approaches are used in ways that suit each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Amy trained and worked for many years in education before becoming a counselor, which shapes how she explains things and teaches skills in sessions. She practices in Idaho and carries ten years of counseling experience as an LPC.

Approaches that connect thinking, feeling, and action

Amy draws on acceptance-based work that helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions and choose values-based actions anyway. This kind of approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to major life changes.

She also uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses. Those techniques are often paired with skills for managing emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Discussing practical needs during the intake helps match session timing and frequency to work, caregiving, or health demands. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time so therapy is more consistent.
