About Amy
Amy Klein Duane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with thirty years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at building coping skills and strengthening self esteem for everyday life.
She spent many years focused on child development and the challenges that arise in teenage years and adulthood. Amy has worked with people with anxiety disorders, including selective mutism and social anxiety, and has experience with chronic mental illness in a day treatment setting. She has also supported people dealing with aging, independence concerns, bereavement, and end-of-life issues.
Amy blends short-term, solution-focused methods with cognitive-behavioral ideas and psychodynamic thinking, tailoring sessions to what each person needs. She emphasizes teaching coping strategies and drawing on people’s personal strengths. Sessions aim to be goal-oriented while also allowing time to talk through deeper patterns.
She describes herself as supportive, observant, compassionate, and an attentive listener. Her style is collaborative: she works with clients to set practical goals and then uses clear tools to meet them. Amy practices in Arizona and brings long-term experience to common life and mental health challenges.
Many people seek her out for help with depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, relationship strain, caregiving stress, and women’s issues. She also addresses seasonal affective disorder, codependency, dependent personality traits, and social phobia. If self esteem is a concern, Amy focuses on small, manageable steps that build confidence over time.
