Amie Bishop, LPC, LCPC

Amie Bishop is a licensed professional counselor who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice. She aims to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. Amie emphasizes practical steps people can take to feel better and to improve communication and connection in relationships.

Amie uses an eclectic mix of methods rather than a single approach. She draws on client-centered work to keep the focus on the person in front of her and cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas and emotionally-focused and Gottman-informed methods when relationship patterns and intense emotions are central topics.

Her background includes years supporting people with trauma, substance use issues, and those affected by disasters or homelessness. She has worked with people navigating sexual concerns and intimacy-related problems, and she describes her practice as open to alternative lifestyles and diverse identities.

In sessions Amie treats therapy as a team effort. She partners with people to set clear goals, then breaks those goals into small, doable steps. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to build communication skills, manage strong feelings, and help people move toward clearer priorities.

Amie is based in Florida and offers services in English. She welcomes questions about how her approach might fit a person’s situation before scheduling a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their priorities, creating space for someone to lead the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a chance to sort out what matters most.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and getting better at interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship struggles, and overwhelming states.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single method. This is a shared process and can shift as progress is made.

For practical matters, confirm available session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It also offers flexibility for shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what helps a person keep steady progress.
