My name is Amy Cornell and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Pennsylvania and a National Certified Counselor with the National Board of Certified Counselors. I work with adult clients via telehealth in the state of Pennsylvania, specializing in depression, anxiety, and adjustment issues, while utilizing a complementary approach to therapy comprised of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and Solution-Focused Therapy concepts. My approach to therapy is collaborative and based on client needs. I utilize a clinical orientation that integrates concepts and techniques emphasizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify treatment priorities, personal strengths, natural supports, and create a path forward towards healing that works for each client.
During our first session, we will discuss your presenting concern(s) and explore your thoughts and feelings about your concern(s). Additionally, I will also ask questions to better understand you, build trust and rapport with you, and identify your desired outcomes for therapy.
I am passionate about supporting my clients in a relaxed environment with calm understanding and acceptance through their personal and life challenges so they can gain resiliency and experience healing and growth.
I provide individual therapy to adults encountering life stressors and challenges that may disrupt personal esteem, interpersonal relationships, increase family and/or career distress. My specialties include emotional disturbances, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, esteem issues, stress management, family and career distress, life coaching, codependency, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and adjustment issues.
CBT targets emotions by changing thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to the distressing emotion. My goal implementing this type of treatment is to help the patient identify how situations, thoughts, and behaviors influence emotions and improve feelings by changing dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors.
SFBT helps pinpoint current effective behaviors and find new ways to facilitate problem-solving by focusing on the details of the solution instead of the problem, developing an action plan that works for each patient. My goal implementing this type of treatment is to bring out the skills, strengths, and abilities that the patient already possesses.
