AmySue does a great job--I haven't been very interactive, consistently, which I'm sure makes her job a little more difficult, but the material she has provided is great for me to go back and look upon.
More about AmySue

Hello! My name is AmySue Hartman and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of WI, MN, and FL. I have worked in various capacities within human services for the past 35 years (residential, vocational, respite care, after-hours crisis and community mental health outpatient). It's not easy taking steps to help yourself. My aim is to help you feel and believe there is hope for a better tomorrow in a non-judgmental platform.
I have worked with person's who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, OCD, personality disorders, addiction, trauma, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD and anger issues. My professional work has always been primarily with adults and families.
My approach is to target your strengths, exploring what you perceive as your barriers and helping guide you toward resolution. Therapy modalities used will be: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Strengths Based Therapy, Recovery Oriented Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Creating positive change in your life can be accomplished through completing worksheets, practicing techniques and interventions offered to you in our sessions. Together we will move at your pace and apply strategies to help you to feel empowered to make decisions more safely and confidently.
I truly look forward to meeting with you soon!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

AmySue does a great job--I haven't been very interactive, consistently, which I'm sure makes her job a little more difficult, but the material she has provided is great for me to go back and look upon.
I felt no judgement from AmySue, very quickly felt comfortable in my session with her.
Since working with AmySue Hartman, for a little over 2 weeks I can already see progression in my mental, and emotional help. I’ve seen my anxiety levels go down, already, and talking with her, and expressing anything is easy and rewarding.
I've only spoken with Amy a couple of times now and of those times, she has given me the tools, not only verbally, but has sent information that has been amazing in helping me with my issues.
Amy is amazing and has helped me through so much. I honestly don't know where I would be without her. Thank you so much, Amy.
Amy is an excellent therapist - engaged, supportive, and compassionate. She has the calming presence of someone who's a cross between a trusted friend, wise older sister, and that lovely aunt who cheers you up and sends you clippings about things you should read. I appreciate how she follows up on our sessions by sharing helpful resources afterwards (even though I need to get better about using them!). I'm thankful for how she'd helped to guide me toward identifying key concerns amid the swirl of random preoccupations that I generally have to keep at bay. And I'm glad for the ways she's provided accountability regarding what to keep in mind, which is helpful as I often struggle with discerning and maintaining priorities.
Awesome
Amy Sue is kind and caring. She explains ideas clearly.
So far it's been helpful. Sometimes there's a lot of what I'd call "homework" and that can be overwhelming but I'm slowly moving forward.
Amy is very connecting and open and listens to every detail you tell her. She’s been the first therapist I’ve opened up to when it comes to therapy, I would definitely recommend working with her if you have fears or worries about therapy she makes you feel welcomed and able to talk freely without anxiousness and will do everything in her power to help you.
I love workin with AmySue. She is super understanding, kind, and knowledgeable. I can tell she has experience, and knowledge/ resources for everything I’ve had concerns about. It’s nice to have someone to talk through, and help me through life when it gets tough.
As I have just started I dont have much to say. She seems knowledgable and attentive.
I've only begun but I'm so thankful to know that Amy is in my "pocket." I love how I can use Better Help on my time because my schedule is so wonky. Highly recommend!!!
She is a Rockstar and has helped me alot.
Amy is helping me in so many ways, she makes me feel like life can and will be okay, as I apply her theraputic techniques, I always look forward to our sessions...
She's like a very knowledgeable friend..
Amy is the best wise friend I pay for.
Amy is a strong advocate, yet challenges me as necessary. She sends me ideas specific to my issues. Amy has a sense of humor that I appreciate. She has offered me specific questions to ask and seems to understand my struggles and needs. I don't feel judged, but listened to and valued. Amy goes above and beyond to offer convenient session availability.
Amy is kind, flexible with time and appointments, and dependable. She listened when I needed a pair of ears, and has unendingly offered open-ended advice and support through an incredibly challenging time in my life.
I accidentally put strongly disagree when I meant to say strongly agree. Amy is GREAT
Amy helps my figure out my problems so much. She’s kinda like a backboard, I throw my problem out there and she helps process it and realize things I couldn’t even see. She’s great.
Very attention
I am grateful for the opportunity to work with AmySue Hartman. Her ability to actively listen, understand context and disparate concepts, as well as apply a broad understanding of therapeutic activity to my situation has introduced new coping practices, which have been very helpful to me.
AmySue has been a great resource for me, and has a lot of resources she shares with me!
In six months of working with AmySue I can confidently say I see a HUGE difference in myself. Others have also said they’ve seen a difference in my attitude towards life. Not to mention the fact that Amy has quickly become one of my absolute favorite people.
She has a very kind, understanding demeanor and makes you feel comfortable.
AmySue and I have had 2 sessions. She suggested that I talk to my husband about my concerns which opened a path to improving our relationship as well as my relationship with 2 of my adult children. She offers me worksheets to enhance our sessions. She is flexible re: session availability.I think we are a good match.
Just starting therapy with Amy, she is professional, knowledgeable, sends daily worksheets, she's understanding and replies in swift timely manner, I feel safe speaking with Amy and look forward to healing...
Very helpful
Amy has made me feel more comfortable than any therapist I've ever had. She is very thoughtful and understanding, extremely responsive, and she offers so many great resources. I've noticed huge improvements in my well-being this past year while working with her!
Love love LOVE Amy, I tell anyone and everyone how much she’s changed my life. One of my favorite people ever.
Amy is amazing! I know i pay her, however she is one of the few possitive constants in my life.
Too costly
Wow I am so happy to have given BH a try. Amy is all of those qualities you asked me about. The articles and strategies she sends to me are so relevant and helpful. The time I spend reading, thinking, trying new ways of being and responding are very valuable.
AmySue is a great counselor with wonderful background and expertise! I’ve noticed many changes in myself because she allows me to process life’s daily happenings with her. I’m endlessly grateful for AmySue and our time shared and the resources she spends so much time and effort gathering. Thank you!!
AmySue is the best. I've never felt more comfortable with any counselor I've had in the past. She has a very warm and inviting presence, she's a great listener, and she always shares great resources!
Very compassionate and listens so well
Amy has changed my life!
AmySue completely changed my life - I was crippled by anxiety, past trauma, and depression, and she guided me through the healing process, and shared so many helpful tools and resources so I could really practice the skills she taught me. She was great about meeting me where I was, giving me the space and grace I didn't know how to give myself, and ultimately I am so much happier, stronger, and building a life that I love. I couldn't have done it without her!
Amy was very receptive to my requests and needs, and responded by tailoring our sessions to a style that suits me. I am able to talk to her about anything, and there is no judgement or snap responses. She is very thoughtful and sends good resources for me to use in between video sessions.
I have had only an initial session with AmySue, but the session was very insightful and helpful, and I am looking forward to the next session with her. She is a great listener and clearly excellent clinician, who also offers insights and techniques that I am finding very valuable. I am glad that BH has her practice within it, and the BH platform is just so easy to access and use.
Thank you Amy!
Amy is great! She listens and helps me redirect my runaway thoughts, and always has supportive guidance. She responds quickly to messages, and sends lots of helpful tips and recommendations based on your needs discussed in sessions. We met every 2 weeks, and it was fairly easy to get appointment times. Recommend.
For me my mental health journey is a very long one 20 years of abuse and a muchousens by proxy surivor. I tend to hide due to my past not being accepted. Thanks to Amy she did not judge, she took my past full force! Amy has showed me its okay to be angry but has given me strength to move on, and to find myself, strength I didn't know I had. Thank you Amy for not giving up on me and showing me there is hope, and strength!
Amy is amazing. She lets me vent, rage, cry and communicate in my own way. She never judges and when I’m unreasonable offers constructive advice in a way I can receive. One of the best therapists I’ve ever had. 100/10. DO RECOMMEND.
Amy has helped me so much in my mental health journey.
Amy supported me and helped me through a year of struggles!
If you’re looking for a counselor who is experienced and who cares, look no further than AmySue. Super helpful and dedicated to improving peoples lives.
AmySue is the best therapist I've ever had. I feel like she could talk to anyone at any age and make them feel understood. She makes me feel so comfortable, like I can tell her anything, which is usually really hard for me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
AmySue is a wonderful help and confidant. I came into therapy with some loose goals and she has helped me solidify goals and plans for myself, while validating what I’m going through. It’s been nice to talk with her whenever I need to!
AmySue has always been very approachable, thoughtful, and compassionate and never ceases to send applicable helpful suggestions of how to live better and most smoothly. She constantly sends additional resources to help me chew on certain concepts and think about things in a different way.
AmySue Hartman has been so helpful, respectful and professional in my counseling sessions and in all our communication outside of sessions. I appreciate her so much and she has greatly helped me in various ways. She makes it easy to express myself and also gives me multiple exercises to use and help me through my struggles. I always look forward to my sessions with her. I would recommend her to anyone needing help.
So far the experience with better help and my counselor has been great. I love that its virtual and you can talk anytime of the day that is convenient for you. Ive been getting really great tips and information from my counselor and its remind me of the ways to help me with all of what I've been going through. If I could give stars or A's Id say 5 stars all the way and A+++
Amy is amazing! She has become a second mom that I go to for advice and help. That is why the text feature is amazing.
Thanks for all of your encouragement and really helping me through my past. My past has been so over turned by others
She gets me. I think that we are part of the same generation makes a huge difference.
Very caring ... great listener and very practical advice making it easy to implement
AmySue is extremely professional and always provides great insight and new ways to think about things. I'm incredibly grateful for all the resources she provides and the way she checks in throughout the week. Somehow she always knows when I could use a pick me up bit of advise. She's the best!
AmySue has been great! She is very kind and relatable.
AmySue is nice and kind and good at listening and then giving her opinion. She has offered really helpful insight and guidance. 10/10 would highly recommend !!
She is incredibly sweet, and understanding. Even if she's not 100% sure on something, she always takes the time to talk it out, look into it herself, and respond as quickly as she's able to.
Amy is amazing. She has been so helpful because she doesn’t beat around the bush but is also so kind and supportive. After a very short time, I immediately felt close to Amy.
This has been a very helpful experience for me
Within the first few minutes of talking with AmySue, I knew she was the perfect fit for me to work with. She is incredibly personable and knowledgeable. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
Amy took the time to truly listen and understand my background and where I would like to go with our sessions. The information she gives me is relevant to the issues we discuss and supports me in my journey.
Reaching out for help is hard. Ever since I was little no one cared to listen or to help me. I reached a breaking point and knew I needed help and i’m really up I was paired with AmySue. Her articles and worksheets helped get me started and her advice and being able to vent on video chat was such a big help for me. I have a new outlook and goals for myself, and I can’t thank Amy enough for giving that back to me
AmySue and I have been working together for a few months now and she is so wonderful. She is always timely in her responses, she is professional, caring and understanding. I appreciate our sessions so much because she lets me process and helps guide me. I never feel judged and she really tries to let me know that I am not alone in the ways that I feel and process.
So far I have had a great experience and have been learning a lot to help me through things I’ve struggled with for a while.
Amy's years of experience really show. She's not just a nice person to talk to. She gives you assignments to work on through the week and offers just the right amount of gentle pressure to ensure you're doing the work. She really seems to want to see you improve rather than spin your wheels as you complain about your problems. She also makes sure that she can spend ample time with her clients. I highly recommend her.
AmySue is absolutely amazing! Two weeks in and she’s been helping me a lot, with all of my issues. Cannot thank her enough.
She seems very personable and relatable.
After trying 2 other therapists on betterhelp I finally found one that will encourage me to keep the service for as long as I need and can afford it. This is a stressful time.
AmySue is nice and caring. She listens and actively engages. Better than most therapists I see. Offers good insight too.
She has been my life preserver during the most uncertain time of my life. She has provided me with a mental bulldozer.
I have gained so much clarity with your worksheets!
AmySue has definitely been a great match for me, and I actually feel heard. It's nice to be able to talk to her throughout the day, and not just cram everything I need to say into a 60 minute session. I feel like I'm getting somewhere with her help.
