Amy Louwers, LMFT

Amy Louwers is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on the link between mind and body. She helps people who feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck with ongoing physical symptoms. Her manner is practical and calm, aimed at helping clients feel more capable and less on edge.

Amy emphasizes nervous system regulation and how thoughts, emotions, and learned patterns affect both feelings and physical sensations. Conversations in sessions can include traditional talk therapy and hands-on strategies that involve the body. When appropriate and wanted by the client, hypnotherapy may be introduced as a tool to support relaxation and shift long-held beliefs.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with somatic, body-based work and guided imagery. Amy also uses tools such as sound bowl integration and EFT/tapping to help reduce stress and soothe anxiety. She describes a 6-session Release & Rewire program that focuses on reducing fear around symptoms, managing stress, and building new habits.

Amy brings two decades of experience in mental health and draws on personal recovery from chronic illness and anxiety to inform her practice. She aims to move people out of survival mode toward feeling calmer and more connected to themselves. Her work is oriented toward adults living with persistent stress, chronic pain or illness, and related concerns.

Outside of therapy she enjoys dance workouts, walking, and exploring new hobbies like golf while savoring good food.

CBT and Hypnotherapy online - how they help

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers clear steps for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep people stuck. It focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions.

When clients are interested, hypnotherapy can be introduced as a complementary tool. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift deeply held patterns and reinforce changes. It is often used for relaxation, reducing fear around symptoms, and supporting habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will listen to your goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT techniques, hypnotherapy, or a mix of mind-body tools best fit your needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here.
