About Amy

Amy Keller is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 31 years of experience. She focuses on helping people strengthen self-esteem and face painful feelings like guilt, shame, and emptiness. Amy aims to listen closely and offer steady support as clients sort out what matters most to them.

Her work centers on practical conversation and collaboration. She helps people work through communication problems and questions about life purpose. She also supports those dealing with attachment concerns, abandonment, and issues related to adoption and foster care.

Amy has long experience helping people cope after relationship endings such as divorce and separation. She also assists with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and challenges tied to blended family situations. Additional focus areas include codependency, dissociation, and personality-related struggles like avoidant or dependent patterns.

This practice is grounded in respectful, client-centered care. Sessions aim to create space to be heard and to develop kinder self-views. Amy works with each person to set realistic steps and goals that fit their life and values.

She practices in California and conducts therapy in English. If you want to begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary with location and a subscription can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy

Many therapists use straightforward, evidence-based techniques that teach skills and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on improving communication and relationship patterns by practicing clearer expression and active listening; this helps when conflict or misunderstanding keeps repeating. Another approach works on building self-compassion and self-esteem through small behavioral steps and gentle perspective shifts; it can help with persistent shame, emptiness, and low self-regard.

Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to look at goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to try first and how to adapt them over time.

Confirm specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and attend from a familiar setting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that feels more comfortable. Ask about which formats are available so you can pick what fits your routine and energy level.
