About
As a counselor with over 20 years of experience and as a person who has struggled with anxiety and depression, I am passionate about helping others reach their goals as they work toward increased mental and emotional well-being.
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 28 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, college students, adults, and couples. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, and relationship challenges. I strive to create a supportive, affirming environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
I earned my master’s degree in agency and community counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University. My clinical approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy, helping clients understand how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions while building insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, validated, and genuinely understood. I will walk alongside you as you explore your experiences, develop effective coping skills, and work toward your personal goals. Seeking counseling is a powerful step forward, and I welcome the opportunity to support you on that path.

Kathy: My go-to approach to help people in grief and loss counseling is cognitive behavioral therapy. One may experience many benefits from cognitive behavioral therapy.
Amy : My go-to approach for helping people in grief and loss therapy is to focus on problem-solving and identifying negative thought and behavior patterns. I find the best benefit in this because this allows the client to process feelings, learn to identify triggers, and focus on future goals. I also cater my approach to each client's needs, as every person is different.
Kathy: I teach the following tools in grief and loss counseling:
Amy : "I teach the following tools in grief and loss therapy:
Kathy: I know a client is making progress in grief and loss counseling when they are able to improve in their daily functioning, process their grief, and engage in social activities to help with grief.
Amy : I know that a client is making meaningful progress when they report the improved use of positive skills, the self-management of symptoms, reaching their personal goals, and having decreased symptoms.
Kathy: Clients can supplement their time in grief and loss counseling with journaling, self-care, and engaging in social activities and relationships.
Amy : Clients can supplement their time in therapy through mindfulness techniques, increased socialization, open communication with their support system, and increased physical activity such as yoga.
Kathy: To prepare for their first grief and loss counseling session, an individual can journal the difficulties they are having and the goals they would like to work on during therapy.
Amy : To prepare for your first therapy session, you can write notes that you would like to discuss, think of your goals for therapy, and try not to be nervous because I am here to help!
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Cornelius, NC have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Cornelius, NC will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
