About Amy
Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting challenges, grief, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and other life changes. Amy also addresses issues such as ADHD, self-esteem, career stress, and process addictions.
Her style is grounded in a client-centered approach. That means sessions focus on the person's goals and what feels most useful to them. She uses tools drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness therapy, and psychodynamic ideas to build practical skills. Sessions often emphasize coping strategies for frustration, impulse control, and problem solving.
Amy helps people learn concrete ways to notice and manage strong emotions like anger. She works on skills for handling resentment, reducing reactive responses, and improving communication with others. Practical techniques may include emotion regulation skills, thought pattern work, and mindfulness practices to reduce escalation.
Across sessions she supports people dealing with life transitions such as divorce or job changes, and with longer-term mood concerns. The focus is on building tools that carry into daily life, not just talking about problems. She also addresses related issues like guilt, shame, obsessive behaviors, and panic symptoms.
Amy practices in Louisiana and conducts therapy in English. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's booking steps and complete the questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and then trying small behavior changes to see what helps. This can be used to address anger-related thinking patterns and workplace or relationship stress. DBT provides specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be taught, practiced, and reviewed during online meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas to keep the work collaborative. That means the client and therapist decide together which methods to try based on goals, how the person responds, and what fits their daily life. Finding the right mix of strategies is part of the process rather than a one-time decision.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel. They can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, to use screen-sharing for worksheets, or to practice mindfulness and DBT skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and skill practice to everyday routines so the work connects with real situations.
