About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Certified (LCSW-C) in Maryland and holds an LCSW in Arizona. She has 11 years of experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and anger. She speaks English and works with people who face mood and behavioral challenges.
Amy’s background includes work with young adults aged 15 to 22 who have developmental disabilities in non-public school settings. She has experience collaborating with families and multidisciplinary teams, including educators, speech and occupational therapists, and behavior specialists. That practical school-based work shaped how she approaches problem solving in day-to-day life.
In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking and practice new skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention back to the present moment, and trauma-focused methods address past harm when needed.
Her work often centers on building coping skills, improving classroom or workplace functioning, and addressing family-of-origin concerns that affect current behavior. She also supports people dealing with fertility-related stress, separation and divorce issues, and the effects of domestic violence.
To begin, Amy asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. Confirm current session options when you book to make sure they fit your routine.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that reduce impulsive reactions and intense mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus on skill-building, thought work, or trauma-focused processing as treatment progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time to sessions. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to match your schedule and whether skills practice between meetings will be included.
