About Amy
Amy Conneely is a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical in Maryland with 15 years of experience. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Delaware State University. She has worked across medical, geriatric, substance abuse, and residential settings and helps people with common mental health concerns including stress and anger.
Her background includes hospital, hospice, oncology, and home health social work. She has worked in nursing homes, assisted livings, substance abuse treatment centers, and residential programs for adults. That variety gives her a broad view of how problems show up in everyday life.
Amy uses practical therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and client-centered therapy. She leans on these approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and the strain of caregiver responsibilities. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings.
She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, substance use, trauma, and issues related to aging or chronic illness. Anger and coping with life changes are among the concerns she addresses. Her work emphasizes respect and a strengths-based stance.
In sessions she aims to listen first, then map small, practical steps forward. People who want clear tools for stress, better emotion regulation, or help reducing problematic patterns tend to find this style direct and useful. She offers services in English and practices in Maryland.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy among other approaches. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps so clients can practice different responses to anger and anxiety. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when frustration builds or relationships feel strained.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needs change. That means trying skills in session, reviewing how they worked, and shifting focus when something fits better.
