About Amie

Amie Diminico is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with 12 years of clinical experience. She trained in counseling psychology and has worked extensively in community mental health settings.

Background and approach

Amie draws on her professional background and her own experience juggling work and family to understand busy lives and complicated schedules. She leads individual, couples, family, and group work and has coordinated multidisciplinary teams to design practical treatment plans.

That background means she often helps people set clear, measurable goals and track progress. Amie has supported people through anxiety, depression, addiction, adjustment struggles, and parenting challenges.

Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods with a warm, client-centered style. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening relationships.

She uses tools from the Gottman Method when addressing relationship patterns and conflict. Amie also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions.

Attachment-based ideas inform her work around family and relational patterns. She emphasizes simple, actionable steps so change feels doable between sessions.

Parents and caregivers may find her perspective familiar - she manages a large blended household and speaks to the real pressures of balancing work and family life. Amie aims to help people identify strengths, reduce overwhelm, and move toward goals at a steady, realistic pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Amie uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns and teach practical communication skills that reduce recurring conflict and increase connection. This approach focuses on clear, usable strategies for couples and partners to practice between sessions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult thoughts and commit to value-driven actions. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance gets in the way of goals. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around family dynamics and closeness, helping people recognize patterns from past relationships and try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amie will discuss your goals, try strategies, and adapt methods to match what actually helps. She often combines techniques so sessions address symptoms, relationship patterns, and clear next steps together.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls work well for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to track progress between appointments. These options give flexibility for scheduling, ongoing support, and steady progress without extra travel.
