About Amy

Amy Svoboda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship or intimacy challenges. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness or pain, cancer-related distress, parenting strain, and work-related compassion fatigue.

Her approach is practical and tailored. She combines tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based strategies with attachment-focused conversations. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters, manage difficult feelings, and make steady changes that fit their life.

Amy draws on a broad background in clinical settings and teaching. That experience informs how she adapts methods for different needs rather than using a single model for everyone. She describes her style as warm, supportive, and straightforward.

People often work on clearer boundaries, healthier relationship patterns, or coping plans for long-term health issues. She also helps with career shifts, life purpose questions, and healing from past losses or abandonment wounds. The work tends to mix practical skill practice with reflection on personal meaning.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to start, then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Please confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches guide online work

Amy often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small actions toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, chronic health stress, and persistent avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current trust and intimacy. This approach can help with relationship struggles, abandonment wounds, and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amy will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in about what helps and adjusting techniques over time.

Confirm session format options before booking, as available formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing weekday or evening appointments, and enabling shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care during health challenges or when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and reflective work to an online setting so progress continues between sessions.
