About Amargo
Amargo Crenshaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She practices from Georgia and brings a calm, direct approach to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and anger. Her work emphasizes practical steps clients can try between sessions.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build clearer coping plans. Mindfulness practices are included to help people manage strong emotions and stay grounded in difficult moments.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when making lasting changes feels overwhelming. Amargo uses a strengths-focused attitude. She helps people spot what already works for them and build on those patterns.
Sessions tend to be straightforward - setting small goals, checking progress, and adjusting what’s not working. The therapist also addresses trauma and family-of-origin concerns in ways that aim to reduce reactivity and improve communication. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy questions, parenting stress, and career shifts.
Anger is approached as a workable issue with specific skills to practice. Her style is collaborative and practical. Clients can expect focused conversations, skill practice, and follow-up ideas.
Services are offered in English and available to international clients by online formats.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Amargo uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions online focus on practical exercises, thought records, and action plans that people can test between meetings.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach short practices that calm the body and sharpen attention. These exercises are easy to learn over video or phone and can be used when strong emotions arise. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck; it relies on gentle questions to clarify goals and build motivation for change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist partners with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. This happens collaboratively in early sessions and is adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for teaching skills and observing reactions, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter, ongoing coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and life demands.
