About Amy
Dr. Amy Still is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting strains, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues such as adoption and foster care, body image, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness.
Dr. Still frames therapy around the client's own knowledge of their life. She treats each person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths that can be used to face current challenges. Sessions are practical and direct, with attention to building motivation and confidence.
Her work includes addressing guilt, shame, impulsivity, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and concerns around self-love and social anxiety. She also supports people sorting out control issues, family problems, forgiveness, and women’s issues. Life purpose is listed among her focus areas for clients questioning direction after change.
In early sessions she helps people describe the problem, identify what they already do that works, and set small goals to test new ways of coping. Conversations are grounded in real-life steps rather than abstract concepts. The aim is clearer thinking and practical changes people can try between sessions.
People who reach out can expect a straightforward approach that centers their own strengths. Dr. Still encourages the courage it takes to start therapy and offers steady, experience-based support as clients work through stressors and transitions.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Dr. Still uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying current coping patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. This method helps people learn what works in daily life and build confidence through repeatable steps.Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and its effects through careful, paced conversations that address triggers, panic episodes, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. The work aims to reduce overwhelming reactions by teaching grounding and regulation skills and by naming patterns that keep problems active.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That process is collaborative and may shift as progress is observed or as priorities change.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around job or family responsibilities and to use short check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm current online options before booking to know how sessions will be conducted.
