About Amie

Amie Bishop is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience. She practices from Florida and brings a nonjudgmental, open-minded approach to sessions.

Background and approach

Amie works with many concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She uses a mix of approaches rather than one set method.

That allows her to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Amie draws on Gottman Method ideas for relationship work, and also uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and behaviors.

Amie often helps people who are managing trauma, coping with life changes, or struggling with sleep and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, cancer, and the emotional effects of caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Topics like communication problems, commitment issues, codependency, and sexual concerns including BDSM and kink are within her scope of focus. Her style is practical and collaborative.

Amie and the client set goals together and outline steps to reach them. Sessions are intended to be a place to talk through problems, practice new skills, and make steady progress toward clearer communication and better coping.

Amie offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she accepts international clients who speak English.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Amie uses Gottman Method ideas to address communication patterns and emotional connection in close relationships, focusing on concrete exercises that help partners understand each other and manage conflict. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, which centers the session on the person's own perspective and goals and helps build trust and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and habits that keep stress and anxiety in place and offers practical tools to shift those patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amie will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and comfort level, then suggest ways to combine methods that fit. Together they set goals and adjust methods based on what helps most over time.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face and practice communication skills, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules or work breaks.
