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 strain, grief, bipolar concerns, addictions, trauma and related life changes. Her focus also includes parenting challenges, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and women's issues.
She uses a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals in view. That means she listens first and then helps people build practical skills. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox for people wrestling with change or addiction. Mindfulness-based ideas are brought in to help with anxiety and grounding during strong emotions. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete steps they can use between appointments.
Amy treats common life problems plainly and directly. She explains techniques, practices them in session, and reviews how they worked afterward. The work is practical - address the immediate problem, then build resilience for future challenges.
She practices in Louisiana and conducts care in English. If you want to start, the site process guides you through a short questionnaire and scheduling for a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions start with the client's concerns and the therapist reflects back what she hears. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior; it uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Amy helps clients decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. She will discuss options, try approaches in session, and adjust them based on what actually helps the client meet concrete aims.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when days are tight. They also let people practice skills learned in session in real-world routines and then bring questions back to the therapist for review.
