About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maryland. She draws on 11 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, and related concerns. Her approach is direct and practical, focused on teaching skills people can use between sessions.
Amy emphasizes clear communication and teamwork in care. She has worked in school settings alongside educators, speech and occupational therapists, and behavior specialists.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she assesses needs and builds support plans that connect to daily life. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful thinking and improve emotional control. She also uses mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques when those fit a person’s experience.
These methods are presented in simple, concrete steps clients can practice at home. Amy aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of coping. She helps clients identify triggers, learn calmer responses, and replace patterns that cause stress or conflict.
Progress is paced to each person’s goals and comfort. Her past work with young adults who have developmental disabilities informs a flexible, team-oriented style. Sessions often consider school, work, and family contexts when relevant.
Amy welcomes questions and works with each person to build a plan that feels manageable and useful.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into clear steps and teaches skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful when strong feelings, anger, or impulsivity get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and sensations without judgment and can reduce reactivity to stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made, combining elements from different approaches when helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face from any location with a good internet connection. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
