Background

About Amy Donovan

I’m a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, overthinking, and the general overwhelm of everyday life. Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of “what-ifs,” dealing with burnout, or constantly second-guessing yourself, I help people learn how to calm the mental noise and build the confidence to handle discomfort, not avoid it. My approach is warm, real, and grounded in practical strategies that work beyond the therapy room. I use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and elements of DBT and Solution-Focused Therapy—tailoring sessions to each client’s needs and goals. Currently, I see clients at The Center for Mindfulness & CBT in Creve Coeur, Missouri, both in person and virtually. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate business world, where I saw firsthand how perfectionism, pressure, and imposter syndrome show up. As a mom of two, I also understand the emotional demands of parenting, family dynamics, and the day-to-day messiness of real life. I’m passionate about helping people feel more grounded, more confident, and more like themselves again. If you’re interested in connecting, collaborating, or learning more about what I do—I’d love to hear from you.
