01About Amy
Amy Nicolazzo is an Ohio-licensed counselor who brings 24 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, addiction, or major life changes. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and be heard without judgment.
She uses straightforward conversation paired with practical strategies. Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking. Amy listens for patterns tied to family of origin, abandonment fears, or codependency and helps clients notice how those patterns affect daily life.
Background and approach
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns such as panic attacks, mood disorders, grief, anger, and social anxiety. She also supports people exploring identity and relationships, including LGBT issues, jealousy, guilt, and forgiveness. Clients who feel empty or are wrestling with life purpose often find direction through her approach.
Amy draws from several therapy approaches to fit each person’s needs. She combines techniques to build coping skills, reduce distressing symptoms, and increase self-compassion. The goal is practical change that feels manageable between sessions.
People who prefer clear, direct communication and steady support tend to do well with her style. She encourages small steps, homework that feels doable, and regular check-ins about progress. Beginning therapy is hard, and she focuses on keeping the process predictable and respectful.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when life feels out of sync with what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying distorted thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing new behaviors to reduce panic, improve mood, and manage stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They adapt methods over time so sessions match changing needs and progress is clear.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, skill reminders, and short conversations between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep momentum while working on change.
