About Amy

Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing grief, parenting challenges, addictions, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up to real relief.

She begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on concrete skills and strategies - like coping tools, emotion regulation, and problem-solving - that can be used between meetings.

Background and approach

Amy favors a warm, respectful tone and helps people build self-worth and a clearer sense of direction. Amy blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior approaches. She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support motivation and reduce harmful patterns.

The goal is to find what fits each person, not to force a single method. Her work emphasizes practical steps for current problems and tools that help with future challenges. That can mean addressing impulsivity, compulsive behaviors, or the fallout from relationship breakdowns.

Amy names small, doable changes and practices them together with clients. Based in Louisiana, she brings 20 years of experience to online formats as well as phone and text options. People who want calm, organized support and a collaborative therapist may find her approach helpful.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Amy uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. That means she listens first, follows your lead, and helps you set goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical alternatives that reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. The process is collaborative - you and the therapist decide what to try and adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel while working with licensed professionals.
