Amy Klein, LMSW, LICSW

Amy Klein, LMSW, LICSW, is licensed in Michigan and has 14 years of post-MSW clinical experience. She works on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting support, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Her practice combines evidence-based techniques and experiential practices to help people manage symptoms and make day-to-day changes.

Amy draws on a long history in social work that began after high school, including work in community programs, in-home services connected to child protective services, and international volunteer service. She completed a Bachelor of Social Work at Wayne State University and a Master of Social Work at Western Michigan University, then worked across settings such as a Native tribe, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and a medical clinic.

Her clinical approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness. In practice this looks like using mindfulness and CBT techniques, storytelling, and movement or creative practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also incorporates elements from yoga and spiritual practices when clients request them.

Amy emphasizes practical steps alongside reflection. Sessions typically include skills practice, values clarification, and talking through recent situations to find alternative choices. She names coping skills, grounding strategies, and behavioral experiments that clients can use between sessions.

Outside of clinical work she teaches yoga and practices Reiki. She lives near Lake Michigan and draws on nature and creative outlets in her work. People who want a mix of psychotherapy and experiential practices may find this approach familiar and straightforward.
