About Amy
Amy Hausman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings three years of formal counseling experience and many prior years in mental health roles to her work. Amy aims to create a warm, down-to-earth space where people can talk about hard feelings without feeling judged.
Amy uses practical strategies to help when stress, anxiety, or depression feel overwhelming. She listens for what matters most to each person and then chooses approaches that fit their goals.
Background and approach
Her work often involves relationship concerns, grief and loss, parenting struggles, and challenges tied to trauma or past abuse. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, among other methods. That mix lets her help people notice unhelpful thought patterns, try new behaviors, and reconnect with values that matter to them.
Amy also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when they suit a client's needs. Amy has experience with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder, and with issues like intimacy-related concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people working through life changes, parenting stress, and LGBT-related concerns.
The session focus is chosen together based on each person's situation. Her approach is conversational and straightforward. She aims to build a working relationship quickly so practical steps can start sooner.
Prospective clients can expect a friendly, honest tone and sessions that focus on usable tools and real progress.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. ACT often helps when worry or avoidance stands in the way of daily life. Client-Centered Therapy is also a core part of her work; it emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then decide which methods to try first. She treats the plan as flexible and adjusts it based on what the client reports is helping.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs less bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
