Amy LaRowe

Amy LaRowe is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and depression. Amy frames clients as experts in their own stories and aims to support practical steps toward change.

Her approach is straightforward and strengths-based. She listens first, then helps people name what’s hard and what matters most. Sessions tend to focus on practical tools for coping and clearer ways to communicate. Amy encourages small, doable steps so progress feels real and steady.

She uses methods drawn from Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means attention to how past hurt affects daily life, a focus on the client’s goals, and work on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Amy adapts what she does to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed program.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns beyond trauma, including grief, parenting stress, self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses chronic pain and illness, first responder issues, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. The work is practical and has room for emotion and problem solving.

Amy invites people to take the next step by choosing what feels most useful for them. She aims to create a calm, clear space where goals are set together and progress is tracked from week to week.

How these approaches translate to online work

Amy uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people understand how past hurt affects current reactions and relationships. That approach looks at the impact of traumatic events and teaches ways to reduce overwhelming memories and triggers.

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following the client’s lead. Sessions focus on the person’s goals, values, and strengths so change comes from the client’s own priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits for mood and anxiety problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning helps match tools to everyday challenges and pacing that feels manageable.

For practical online details, confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use these sessions to teach skills, review coping plans, and support steady progress without asking you to reorganize your entire schedule.
