About Amy
Amy McKinney is a clinical psychologist (WY Psychologist 607) with 10 years of experience based in Wyoming. She works with adults facing anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and blended family issues. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, ADHD, anger, career questions, and life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building skills for day-to-day life. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based work and mindfulness. She also uses client-centered conversations to help people reflect on values and personal goals.
Amy draws on experience from treating service members earlier in her career, so she is familiar with stress reactions linked to high-demand roles. That background informs how she talks about trauma, grief, and first responder or military-related issues. She aims to help clients form a clearer, more realistic view of themselves and their choices.
Sessions often include skills practice, behavioral experiments, and structured exercises to address anxiety, mood, and substance use patterns. For trauma-related work she may include longer processing techniques alongside grounding and emotion-regulation tools. She encourages practical steps that can be used between meetings.
People who find change difficult but want concrete strategies to manage symptoms may find this approach useful. To begin, readers should follow the site's booking flow to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to values-based action rather than getting stuck on unwanted thoughts, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT, adding acceptance and mindfulness strategies, or using trauma-focused processing when appropriate.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The site asks readers to use the online therapy options and matching questionnaire to see current formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break or a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can make regular meetings more manageable while focusing on the techniques that help with anxiety, trauma reactions, and blended family adjustments.
