About Amy
LCSW in Pennsylvania with 21 years of experience, Amy Wienand helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also focuses on drug and alcohol addiction, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and young adult matters. Amy works from approaches that include Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.
Amy centers sessions on the person’s own story. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and looks for strengths the person already has. Conversations are practical and focused on what people want to change. She uses mindfulness to help with overwhelming feelings and motivational interviewing to support change around addictive behavior.
Her use of narrative work means she looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Amy helps people notice how those stories affect their mood and choices. Then she supports small shifts that can change daily habits and thinking patterns. Sessions are direct and collaborative, not lecture-style.
Amy has worked in clinical settings for over two decades. That experience includes supporting people through grief and end-of-life concerns and addressing the pressures faced by first responders. She brings that background into session planning and goal-setting.

How her approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away by them. Online sessions can include short guided breathing or grounding exercises to reduce anxiety and improve focus.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. In an online session the therapist asks open questions and reflections to help a person weigh pros and cons and strengthen motivation to change addictive behaviors.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape choices. Online sessions use conversation to identify unhelpful storylines and test small alternative ways of acting that can shift daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That planning can include trying different techniques in early sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
