I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about supporting people as they work toward meaningful goals in their lives. I believe every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and hopes into therapy, and that growth can look different for everyone, from finding small moments of joy to navigating life’s most difficult losses.

My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, recognize your potential, and move forward with greater clarity and compassion. Even in challenging seasons, I believe there is always space for hope, healing, and possibility.

Amy Gaines

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and compassion. Over the course of my career, I’ve supported clients across the lifespan — from prenatal and postpartum care to adolescent and adult mental health, family systems work, and support for individuals facing chronic illness or end‐of‐life transitions.

My clinical specialties include:

  • Anxiety and depressive disorders
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Chronic medical conditions and chronic pain
  • Substance use and co‐occurring diagnoses

My background spans IOP/PHP programs, outpatient behavioral health, medical social work, and veteran services. This range of experience allows me to take a holistic, collaborative approach that considers the full context of a person’s life — their health, relationships, environment, and strengths.

At the heart of my work is a belief that therapy should feel grounding, supportive, and empowering. I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are, explore what’s weighing on you, and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence and self‐compassion.

If you’re looking for a therapist who brings experience, steadiness, and genuine partnership to the process, I’d be honored to support you

Krystal Pfeiffer

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.

I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.

What therapy with me feels like:

Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold

A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet

Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it

Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable
