About Torie
Torie Amza brings a practical, goal-focused style to therapy rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, based in Florida with 18 years of experience. Torie aims to make the first steps feel doable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She works with common concerns like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Torie also helps people navigate major life changes and the emotional strain that can come with them.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around clear, workable strategies rather than jargon or theory-heavy explanations. Family-related stresses are a central part of her work. That includes communication problems, blended family issues, family of origin concerns, and caregiver stress.
Torie also addresses dynamics affected by immigration, multicultural pressures, and prejudice and discrimination. She supports people facing social anxiety, isolation, workplace difficulties, and questions about life purpose. Impulsivity and forgiveness work are other areas she helps clients with.
Her approach is practical and adaptable to each person’s situation. Torie describes her style as respectful and compassionate. She tailors the conversation and the plan to each person’s needs.
The aim is steady progress through small, achievable steps. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. Sessions are offered in English and can include video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
How CBT-based care works online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps. In sessions this looks like setting small, specific goals, practicing new responses, and tracking what changes over time. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation.When therapy addresses family-related stress or relationship patterns, the work often centers on clearer communication and behavior changes. That means practicing phrases, role-playing difficult conversations, and trying new ways to set boundaries. These same concrete actions translate well to remote sessions and homework between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will adjust methods and pace until a plan fits the client’s life and needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity over time.
