About Amie
LMSW, LCSW in Michigan with 10 years of experience, Amie Stefanich helps adults with mood, stress, relationship, and grief-related challenges. She focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions and keeps conversations straightforward and goal-oriented.
Amie uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and understand each person's perspective. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build small, achievable changes. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work when people are weighing change or facing ambivalence.
In sessions she starts by asking what matters most right now. She works with people to set clear, short-term goals and tracks progress together. Sessions often include talking through current problems, testing new coping strategies, and adjusting plans when something isn’t working.
Amie has experience supporting people through grief, hospice and end-of-life decisions, caregiver stress, and challenges that come with aging or serious illness such as cancer. She also addresses anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar mood issues.
Her background includes ten years of clinical social work practice and licensure as an LMSW and an LCSW. She practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. To begin, viewers are asked to use the online matching steps to schedule an initial meeting and discuss specific session options.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective first by listening and reflecting back what matters most. Online sessions can use that listening style to clarify values, priorities, and immediate concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them. Delivered remotely, CBT sessions often include brief between-session tasks, worksheets, and short behavior goals that fit into daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try methods that match the issue, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together how to combine listening-focused work with CBT or solution-focused steps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice new skills in real life between meetings and bring notes or relevant documents into the conversation.
