About Amy
Amy Iannitelli is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and the emotional fallout of life changes. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people get clearer and steadier in day-to-day life.
Clients come for help with trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, attention and focus difficulties, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with eating and body-image problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Amy pays close attention to each person's history and current pressures before planning next steps. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is most pressing and on small, manageable steps to reduce distress.
Amy draws on approaches that teach skills for coping, while also making space to process painful memories when needed. Over more than two decades she has worked with a wide range of issues including adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, fertility struggles, domestic violence, and personality-related challenges.
That background informs how she tailors treatment to fit the person in front of her rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. She offers in-person work in Florida and online sessions for people elsewhere in English. People who choose her can expect a calm, focused conversation that aims to build tools and understanding to move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them before choosing specific techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the approach matches the client rather than the other way around.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work visually and practice skills together; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed; chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, coping prompts, or when a written format feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain contact between sessions.
