About Amy
Dr. Amy Guertin helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting demands, low self-esteem, or depression. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC based in Illinois with nearly three decades of experience.
Her approach aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful for daily life. She focuses on practical skills and clear goals. Sessions often include noticing thoughts and values, trying small behavior changes, and choosing actions that matter.
Background and approach
Clients get tools they can use between sessions to manage panic, mood swings, or the strain of major life changes. Her background includes long experience working with attention challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship struggles. She also addresses communication problems and family concerns by helping individuals identify patterns and try different ways of relating.
Young adult issues and social anxiety are part of her regular focus. Dr. Guertin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as ways to guide sessions.
Those methods are used to help people notice what matters to them, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build concrete plans for change. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. The tone is practical and respectful, not rushed.
People who prefer clear steps and real-world practice may find this style helpful.

Online support
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. It can be useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and making lasting behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical changes in thinking and behavior by identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new responses; it often helps with panic, social anxiety, and mood disorders.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits longer check-ins and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
