About Amy
Amy Brant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career matters, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation and related issues.
Amy began her career in 1998 as a teacher for students with special needs and later served as a public school guidance counselor. Those roles led her to focus on how family background shapes adult choices. She earned her LMFT to work more directly with family patterns and relationship dynamics.
Her approach adapts to what each person needs. Some people prefer brief, solution-focused work. Others benefit from longer, collaborative sessions that include education about patterns and skills. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate.
In sessions she helps people talk through past family roles and how those roles affect current behavior. She offers practical strategies for handling conflict, setting boundaries, managing strong emotions, and improving communication.
Carrying three decades of experience, she aims to help clients recognize repeating patterns and develop clearer choices for relationships and daily life. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning practical skills to act on those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based work looks at how early family relationships shape current patterns and how those patterns can be understood and changed.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical way to identify thinking patterns and try different behaviors. These approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, relationship and family of origin concerns because they combine insight with concrete skills practice.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend methods to try. That recommendation can change as work progresses, and she checks in regularly to make sure sessions are fitting your needs.
If you plan to meet online, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a workday, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her during the matching questionnaire about what format would suit your routines and technology.
