About Amy
Amy Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She draws on both professional work and personal insight to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction. Her approach is grounded in respect for each person's story and values, and she aims to create a calm, hopeful space to begin difficult conversations.
She uses several evidence-based approaches, including attachment-focused work, acceptance and commitment methods, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and EMDR when appropriate.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that make daily life easier, such as improving communication, managing intense emotions, and developing coping routines. She also addresses concerns like eating and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Amy pays attention to patterns that come from early relationships and attachment wounds.
That often means looking at how past losses or abandonment shape current reactions. She helps people name those patterns and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others. Therapy can include short-term problem solving or longer work on grief, mood disorders, or personality-related challenges.
Amy works with people navigating divorce, domestic violence recovery, dissociation, and complex trauma themes. She encourages small experiments between sessions to build new habits. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled to fit each person's needs.
Amy values collaboration and will help set clear goals and steps so progress feels concrete and manageable.

Online support
Attachment and Trauma Work Online
Amy uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. That work helps people notice patterns like fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others, and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of living the life someone wants. Amy pairs ACT with client-centered listening to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals.
Finding the right approach often happens together. Amy will talk with each person about their history, needs, and what feels most useful. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as work progresses so the approach fits the client’s preferences and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper processing, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and help maintain momentum between meetings.
