About Amy
Amy Schlatter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with ten years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Amy also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and substance-related concerns.
Amy describes an integrative approach that looks at patterns across thinking, feeling, and behavior. She often draws on techniques from mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), internal family systems ideas, and cognitive-behavioral theory to help clients notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions tend to mix practical skills practice with reflective conversation.
Her background includes long experience in education, including over 25 years teaching grades 1 through 8 and more than ten years training faculty and families in Waldorf methods. Those years shaped her attention to developmental stages and family systems when addressing adult concerns. She also has additional study in nutrition, herbalism, Ayurvedic counseling, and neurofeedback, which inform her wider perspective on health and behavior.
In sessions Amy helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and practices small, manageable steps to change those patterns. She works with adults and younger clients and uses exercises from different approaches rather than a single method. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps for responding differently to stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
People who are worried about what comes next after a big change may find her style direct and practice-focused. To get started clients use the online matching process and schedule an initial session to review goals and decide which techniques to try first.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Amy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice what matters to them and build small actions that reflect those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while choosing purposeful action, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions.She also draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different responses. These skills aim to reduce worry and improve communication by breaking problems into concrete steps and practicing new behaviors between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy treats finding a fit as collaborative - she and the client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That makes sessions adaptable to changing needs and priorities.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know how work will be scheduled and delivered. If you want to fit therapy into a busy week, online sessions can make it easier to meet during a lunch break or from a quieter spot without traveling. Phone options use less bandwidth and can be good for shorter check-ins, while video sessions allow for visual cues and role practice. Ask about available formats when you schedule your first appointment.
