About Amy
Amy Spallinger is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 22 years of experience. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Amy emphasizes strengths and respects each person's story.
She invites clients to take small steps toward change and recognizes that reaching out can be hard. Her work focuses on what is useful in the moment. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed. Narrative tools help clients sort out the stories they tell about themselves and choose new directions. Amy also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals and to track small wins.
For people recovering from trauma or abuse she incorporates trauma-focused approaches tailored to the pace the person can handle. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented while still allowing time to process strong emotions. She has helped many people over two decades gain more confidence, handle panic or phobias, navigate life transitions, and work through family of origin or control issues.
Amy also supports people dealing with fertility concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, and first responder stress. Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens for strengths, offers simple tools to try between sessions, and adjusts methods based on each person’s needs and progress.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias and works well when paired with homework between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity to strong emotions and to build calm in daily life; it can help with stress, intrusive memories, and mood swings. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity so new choices become possible; this can be useful for low self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try methods that fit the pace and needs of the client. Decisions about which strategies to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different days and routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional processing. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
