Amy Murray , LCSW

Amy Murray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 17 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, motivation and self esteem concerns, trauma, spiritual discovery, and depression, guiding clients toward practical skills and increased resilience.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed techniques to meet each person's needs. She primarily draws from mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, integrates solution-focused strategies, incorporates yoga-based breathing and movement practices, and uses narrative methods to help clients reframe personal stories and values. These methods are combined in an individualized way to match each client's goals.

Amy helps clients explore thoughts, behaviors, belief systems, inner dialogue, somatic responses, and emotional and relationship patterns so they better understand how they interact with people and situations and what they believe about themselves. Through this exploration she supports clients in developing coping tools and new approaches for managing life stressors and building confidence.

She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to create a supportive, strengths-based process that encourages clients to rely on their inner resources while learning practical skills for growth.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Remotely

Mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy combines attention to present-moment experience with practical work on unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach helps people manage symptoms of anxiety and depression and build skills to respond to stress more effectively.

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and clear goals to create forward momentum. It is useful for clients who want practical strategies to address life changes, improve motivation, and solve relationship or work-related problems.

Amy approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time, inviting feedback and shared decision making so the therapy plan evolves with the client's progress.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life transitions. These options support consistent practice of skills learned in therapy and provide multiple ways to stay connected with a therapist between in-person visits when needed.
