Amy SchlatterLPC

Amy Schlatter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and life changes. She also supports those coping with depression and the practical strain of caregiving, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Amy practices in Idaho and works in English. She draws on a holistic view that links mind, body, and spirit. That means she looks at daily routines, coping habits, and beliefs together rather than as separate problems. Sessions focus on building awareness, steadying emotions, and finding small, doable changes that fit a client’s life. Amy combines insights from years in education with counseling work. Before becoming a counselor she spent over 25 years teaching grades 1–8 and more than 10 years training faculty and families in Waldorf approaches. Those experiences shape how she explains things and sets practical learning goals with clients. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods alongside mindfulness, yoga-influenced practices, and attention to attachment patterns. Amy uses tools to help people notice internal parts of themselves and to practice new ways of coping. She aims for straightforward skills people can use between sessions. Clients can expect a warm, empathetic style that balances calm guidance with practical planning. Amy helps people regain a sense of control by increasing self-awareness and acceptance. To start, she asks about current struggles and goals, then designs a plan people can try and adjust over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help

Amy uses a mix of approaches that emphasize awareness, values, and managing emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Internal Family Systems ideas help people notice different internal parts and understand how they influence behavior. This can be helpful for trauma, attachment issues, and patterns like avoidance or self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine techniques that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try methods and change course as needed.

The original biography does not list which online or remote formats are used, so please confirm the session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue meeting when life or health events make an in-person visit difficult. Licensed professionals adapt session length and tools so therapy can fit into daily life without promising a specific service format.
