About Amy
Amy Roth is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) in South Dakota and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents 15 and older on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, relationship and family problems, and questions about gender and identity.
She trained at South Dakota State University, completing a Master’s in Counseling and Human Resource Development. Over the last 15 years she has worked across settings and age ranges, bringing practical experience with attachment issues, abandonment, personality concerns, and panic. Her work draws on several clinical approaches rather than a single method.
In sessions she focuses on what the person is struggling with now. She talks through current problems, clarifies goals, and uses approaches that fit the moment. Techniques may come from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-based work depending on what is helpful.
Amy emphasizes clear, manageable steps when someone feels stuck. She pays attention to communication patterns, family of origin issues, and impulsivity when those things are part of the problem. Life purpose questions are also part of her caseload for people wondering what comes next after a major change.
Her practice balances practical skills with space to process emotions. Clients can expect short-term coping tools alongside work on longer patterns such as attachment and self-esteem. She offers sessions in English and bases care on each person’s goals and circumstances.
How Amy’s clinical approaches translate to online sessions
Amy draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers clear tools for panic, anxiety, depression, and mood-related problems by breaking issues into manageable steps and experiments.She also uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps when communication, abandonment, or family of origin problems keep showing up in relationships and self-view.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and what they are facing right now rather than sticking to one method.
The biography notes video, live chat, and phone as session options, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on difficult days, or offer a quieter setting when travel would be difficult. Discussing format and timing is part of the first appointment so sessions fit practical needs without assuming a single style.
