About Amy
Dr. Amy Cole, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri, has 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on blended family issues and postpartum depression and works in English.
She uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and build practical steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her work to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help people set achievable goals and keep momentum during change.
Dr. Cole earned a Doctorate of Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, an Ed.S. in School Mental Health from the University of Missouri, and a master’s degree in School Counseling from Missouri State University. She maintains her Missouri LPC credential.
Her recent practice includes hospital work with older adults, providing coping skills for loneliness, grief, anxiety, depression, and isolation. That experience informs how she supports people facing later-life stressors or medical transitions.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps: naming immediate concerns, trying small behavior changes, and checking what helps. She encourages honest conversation about goals and barriers, and adjusts approaches as needs change.

How these approaches guide remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's priorities and helping them choose the next step. It is useful for people who want a therapist to follow their lead and clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior, then tests small changes to reduce stress or anxiety. It suits people who prefer structured tools and homework to practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try approaches and adapt them if needed, so methods match the client's situation rather than being fixed at the start.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow doing practical exercises between meetings and reviewing progress over time, which supports work with CBT and solution-focused tasks.
