Torie Amza

Torie Amza is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and changes in life direction. Torie also focuses on family-related concerns and issues around life purpose.

She uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort through current problems. Sessions often address communication problems, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and conflicts that trace back to family of origin. She also supports people facing workplace stress, social anxiety, immigration-related pressures, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination.

Torie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. That approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and problems with motivation. In sessions she helps people test small shifts in thinking and action to see what changes feel useful.

She has worked with adults across many settings during her career. Torie is comfortable talking about forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, impulsivity, and women's issues as they relate to everyday life. She encourages straightforward goal-setting and step-by-step problem solving.

People who are unsure what comes next in work or life often find it helpful to clarify values and practical options in a few sessions. Torie asks about current stresses, what the client wants to be different, and then plans simple next steps to try between meetings.

How CBT fits into online work and what to expect

CBT is a practical, goal-focused approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps people notice patterns that keep anxiety or low mood active and then try small experiments to shift those patterns. This can be useful for worry, panic, low motivation, social anxiety, and stress related to work or family.

In sessions the therapist and client work together to choose the best strategies. The therapist will help decide whether CBT techniques, conversational exploration, or a mix of methods best fit the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative process is part of early sessions rather than a one-time decision.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether phone or video is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT tools to work in remote sessions and focus on small, actionable steps that fit everyday life.
