About Amy

Amy Svoboda, LPC, practices in Texas and helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and addictions. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Amy uses an approachable style that focuses on what matters to you now.

Sessions aim to make things clearer and more manageable step by step. Amy draws on 15 years of clinical experience to shape the work.

Background and approach

She blends approaches rather than sticking to one method. That means practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside deeper work on attachment and meaning when helpful. She tailors the plan to each person’s goals and circumstances.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps clients try different ways of responding. Some meetings focus on thoughts and behaviors, and some focus on relationships and early life experiences that still affect daily life.

The emphasis is on small, doable changes you can practice between sessions. Amy has a background in teaching psychology and supervising other clinicians. That informs her use of research-based ideas while keeping the conversation grounded.

She aims to help people build clearer boundaries, repair connection, and find purpose after loss or change. Practical concerns such as chronic illness, caregiving, or first responder stress are included in the work. The goal is to make therapy fit your life, not to force you into a single model.

Amy welcomes straightforward conversations about what you want from therapy and how to get there.

Approaches Amy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Amy often draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people notice how they connect, how they handle closeness, and what gets in the way of trust and intimacy.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. ACT can help when anxiety, depression, or chronic stress make it hard to move toward important life goals.

Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, emphasizing a respectful, nonjudgmental stance. That approach creates space to talk through painful experiences and to find what matters most to you.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amy works collaboratively to choose methods that fit your goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something isn’t helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and relational work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or screen time is an issue. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. Those options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy days or different routines.
