About Amy
Amy Nicolazzo is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, dealing with addictions, or navigating grief and major life changes. Amy also supports those facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger, and mood or panic concerns.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. She aims to build an open space where clients can name hard feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical skills and honest conversation so people can try new ways of coping between visits. Amy uses several evidence-informed methods to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and from acceptance-based work to help people live by their values despite difficult emotions.
She also incorporates mindfulness and emotion-regulation tools when needed. People who choose Amy often want clear strategies and gentle challenge. She helps with issues such as codependency, control struggles, emptiness, and forgiveness work.
She also supports clients managing impulsivity, jealousy, or questions about life purpose. Practical matters are discussed openly in early sessions. Treatment is shaped around each person’s goals and pace.
Amy encourages small, doable steps and checks in on what is working and what needs to change.

Approach and online options for therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for handling intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text can support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill-building between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
