About
Amy Petrill, LISW, is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with more than 20 years of trauma-informed clinical experience. She works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and the challenges that can come with major life transitions.
Her work is grounded in a client-centered philosophy that emphasizes autonomy and self-determination. Amy approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, and she aims to offer steady, compassionate guidance that respects the client’s pace and priorities. In this collaborative relationship, clients set the direction while Amy helps them explore patterns, build insight, and move toward meaningful goals.
To support change, she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic and Psychodynamic perspectives, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together, these approaches can help clients better understand their experiences, strengthen coping skills, and create practical steps forward in areas that feel stuck or overwhelming.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Amy Petrill integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach often used in trauma-informed work. EMDR helps clients process distressing experiences in a guided way, with the goal of reducing how strongly those memories continue to impact the present.
Mindfulness Therapy may also be part of the work, emphasizing attention to the present moment and building skills for steadiness, self-compassion, and emotional regulation during difficult periods such as grief or high stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit the client’s needs and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to get support consistently, whether someone prefers face-to-face conversation or a more gradual, written format between sessions.
