Amy Boggs, LISW

Amy Boggs is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with addictions, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, career pressure, and challenges linked to caregiving or chronic illness. Amy often works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Her approach is straightforward and faith-informed, though not judgmental. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify thought patterns and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Sessions focus on practical steps, skills practice, and clearer ways to handle daily pressures.

Amy brings 19 years of experience as an Ohio LISW. She meets people where they are and aims to make therapy feel manageable even when life feels overwhelming. Her background includes helping caregivers, people facing hospice and end-of-life issues, and those coping with chronic pain or long-term medical conditions.

In sessions she emphasizes empathy, listening, and concrete tools. Clients work on coping strategies, problem solving, and setting realistic goals. Amy also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, control issues, infidelity, and forgiveness in a calm, steady way.

People who want a practical, compassionate therapist may find her style helpful. She speaks English and does not currently take international clients. Prospective clients should use the site’s booking flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Amy Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts that increase stress and trying new behaviors to change how a person feels. It often includes short homework tasks, thought records, and practical skill practice that help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

In sessions Amy blends a faith-informed, compassionate tone with concrete tools. She helps clients set small goals, test new approaches between sessions, and track progress together. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work, and she will collaborate with each person to adapt methods to their needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. The main practical benefits of remote therapy are that sessions can fit into a busy day more easily, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or phone-only conversations when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Discussing scheduling and format options early helps make therapy fit into everyday life.
