Amy Oxendine

Amy Oxendine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career strain, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma and other life changes. Amy uses a practical, encouraging style and aims to help people make forward progress toward their goals.

Amy brings seven years of experience across many settings including hospitals, public schools, group homes, child protective services, and private mental health agencies. She has worked with adults and school-aged youth and currently provides clinical services for veterans with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, military sexual trauma, and related medical and psychosocial issues.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, collaborative connection and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Therapy techniques when they fit a person’s goals.

Amy describes her approach as compassionate, energetic, and goal oriented. She focuses on strengths while helping people address practical problems like parenting stress, career and financial pressures, anger, and coping with chronic illness.

People who meet with Amy can expect straightforward conversations about change. She works with each person to pick tools that suit their life and preferences and to set small, achievable steps toward better daily functioning.

How these approaches translate to online work

Amy uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the person's own goals lead the work. This approach focuses on active listening and adjusting to what each person says they need.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT is practical and skill based, helping with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and career stress by teaching tools to change thinking and routines.

Finding the right method is part of the therapy process. Amy will work together with the person to try approaches that match goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans when something is not helpful. That shared decision making helps pick techniques that fit day-to-day life.

Session formats were not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match practical needs, and the therapist will help choose what makes the most sense for scheduling and progress.
