About Amy
Amy Brant, LMFT, helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, or major life changes. She works with issues like depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. Her tone is practical and supportive with an emphasis on real-life solutions.
She began her career in 1998 as a teacher for students with special needs and later served as a public school guidance counselor. Those early roles shaped her view that family history and past experiences influence adult choices and behavior.
Background and approach
She earned a Master’s-level marriage and family therapy credential and has practiced for about 30 years in Indiana. Amy adapts her approach to what each person needs. Some people come for focused, short-term work on a specific problem.
Others want a slower, collaborative path that includes teaching new skills. She listens with empathy and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. In sessions she uses tools from evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy.
She also draws on dialectical skills and client-centered methods to help people manage emotions and build healthier relationships. Parents seeking guidance on family stress, parenting challenges, blended family issues, or communication problems will find practical strategies and coping skills. Amy aims to help clients gain insight, reduce distress, and make changes that fit their daily lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, consistent actions to move toward a better life, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often includes exercises and homework to practice new habits between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, and it helps people build healthier ways of relating and connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process may mix elements from different approaches until a useful path emerges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills that use visual aids. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people send notes or brief updates that fit into busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and family routines while still using the same therapeutic tools and exercises discussed in sessions.
