About Amy
Amy Shearer is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also focuses on issues such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and women's concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Amy frames difficulties as part of life and looks for ways they can point to redirection. She offers tools for self-reflection and mind-body practices alongside attention to spiritual health when clients want that included. In conversation she identifies strengths and assets to help people build on what is already working.
Her practice uses a whole-person perspective that considers multiple aspects of a person's life that affect day-to-day functioning. She supports practical coping skills for anxiety and stress and offers focused time to process grief and loss. She also addresses issues tied to guilt, shame, and isolation while helping people think about purpose and next steps.
Amy describes assessment as an important early step so she can recommend the right tools and focus. She emphasizes collaborative work rather than prescribing one path. People can expect plain language, structured suggestions, and exercises that connect thinking, feeling, and behavior.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Amy emphasizes evidence-based techniques that connect thoughts, feelings, and bodily experience. One common approach she uses is brief, structured exercises for stress and anxiety that teach breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. These practices are practical and aimed at giving simple actions people can use between sessions.She also incorporates self-reflection and mind-body practices that link movement, breath, and attention to support processing grief, shame, or compassion fatigue. These methods help people notice patterns and try small changes that affect mood and motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, life circumstances, and personal preferences and then choose techniques that fit. Amy frames this as collaborative experimentation rather than a fixed program.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and breathing or grounding practices to remote sessions so people can apply tools in everyday life.
