About

Amy Shapton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California with 13 years of professional experience and a Master’s degree in Health and Military Social Work. Much of her practice grew from more than a decade in medical social work, including 11 years supporting patients and families in an oncology setting. This background informs a careful attention to resilience, adjustment, and the emotional realities that accompany major health and life changes.

Amy is a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who works with a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, relationship and intimacy issues, family and systemic conflict, and the stresses of role transitions and identity shifts. She integrates a strengths-based perspective and, when appropriate, explores experiences through a post-traumatic growth lens to help people find meaning and direction after adversity.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical tools alongside reflective exploration. Amy aims to help individuals identify personal strengths, clarify values, and take steps toward the changes they want to make using clear, evidence-based support and a compassionate approach.

Remote care using cognitive and strengths-focused methods

Amy integrates certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a strengths-based stance and a post-traumatic growth perspective. Using CBT, she helps clients notice and test patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or relationship difficulties. The strengths-based approach focuses on identifying existing resources and skills to support practical change. When relevant, she uses a post-traumatic growth lens to explore how adversity can lead to new meaning, adjusted priorities, or personal insight.

This combination can suit people looking for structured tools alongside reflective work about values, identity, and life transitions. Amy approaches sessions collaboratively, tailoring interventions to each person’s concerns and pace. Remote sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their needs and rhythm.
