About Amie
Amie Diminico is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 12 years of experience practicing in Massachusetts. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University and uses her clinical background to help people facing common life stresses. Amie draws on practical, straightforward strategies and aims to make sessions feel calm and focused.
Amie spent much of her career in community mental health settings across Massachusetts. There she led individual, family, couples, and group therapy and worked on multidisciplinary teams to coordinate care.
Background and approach
She also helped clients connect with employment supports in the community. Her approach blends body-focused awareness with proven talk therapies. Somatic methods are used alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotional patterns, physical tension, and unhelpful thoughts.
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to make sense of relationship patterns. Common concerns Amie addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, addiction, grief, ADHD, self-esteem, and intimacy issues. She also helps people navigating blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and body image concerns.
Her practice emphasizes practical steps and real-life problem solving. Amie focuses on building clear goals with each person. Sessions aim to identify small, measurable changes and to practice skills that fit daily life.
People can expect calm listening, direct feedback, and collaboration on next steps.
How somatic and talk therapies work online
Somatic work focuses on the body's signals and how they connect to emotions. In online sessions Amie can guide gentle body-awareness exercises, breath work, and noticing physical patterns that relate to stress and anxiety. These practices often help people become aware of tension and learn simple ways to regulate it.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take small steps toward them. It uses short, practical exercises to reduce avoidance and build committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that feel useful. That plan can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let you see nonverbal cues, phone sessions are convenient when video isn't possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins and coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills and keep momentum while fitting therapy into everyday life.
