About Amy
Amy David is an LCSW who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting stress. She supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges related to ADHD. She also works with people navigating adoption and foster care, caregiving strain, and body image or eating concerns.
Amy favors practical conversations that connect feelings to everyday actions. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and offers steps people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build more stable connections with others and a steadier sense of self worth. Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with cognitive-behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix lets her address relationship patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and teach emotion regulation strategies.
She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set realistic, short-term goals. Amy brings six years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina. She commonly helps people explore family of origin issues, communication problems, parenting questions, fertility and aging concerns, and the effects of past loss or abuse.
Her background includes work with caregivers and people coping with chronic medical situations. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect how people connect and feel safe with others; it helps when recurring relationship patterns cause distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills offer practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions feel intense.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT strategies, DBT skills, or a mix tailored to the problem at hand.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations for deeper relational work. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in that needs less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and busy schedules.
