About Amy
Amy McKinney is a clinical psychologist licensed in Wyoming (WY Psychologist 607) who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, sleep problems, and mood concerns. She draws on a decade of experience to help people find clearer ways of thinking and calmer ways of living. Amy aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She works by helping people shift how they view themselves and their struggles. That often means noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and building habits that support better rest and lower anxiety. Amy combines practical skill building with focused emotional work so clients can see everyday improvements.
Her approach includes therapies that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and learning new coping skills. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, practicing tools, and setting simple goals for the week. Amy uses plain language and a calm style to keep conversations clear and down to earth.
Clients commonly come for sleep disruption, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, and work-related burnout. She also addresses issues like ADHD, grief, and problems related to life changes. Amy encourages humor and small joys as part of coping and recovery.

Approach options and what online care can look like
Amy uses approaches that help people build concrete skills and shift how they relate to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and sleep problems, then testing small changes to see real effects. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them, even when uncomfortable feelings remain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then try techniques that fit the person's needs. The process is collaborative and adjustable as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular check-ins. If you want to know which session formats are offered for Amy specifically, confirm current options before booking so you can pick what fits your life. Many people find online sessions helpful for maintaining momentum between appointments and for trying tools in everyday settings.
