Amy Schold

Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She has 20 years of practice helping people who feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief, and substance or process addictions. She also supports those navigating ADHD, mood changes, and life transitions such as divorce and separation.

Her style is straightforward and client-centered. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens, then helps people build skills and small routines that make daily life easier.

Amy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and motivational interviewing to build practical tools. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help slow down intense emotions and reduce reactivity. Work often includes skill-building for mood management, impulse control, and coping with loss.

Over two decades she has worked with many kinds of challenges, including anxiety, bipolar and depressive disorders, compulsive behaviors, and issues around self-esteem and guilt. She aims to help people handle current problems while preparing for future hurdles.

If you want to begin, she asks visitors to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. The process is collaborative and paced to suit each person's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online care

Amy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so small, practical steps can make a difference for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT tools are helpful when strong emotions or impulsivity make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which tools and methods match their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new needs emerge.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options that don't require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to keep therapy consistent and practical while focusing on skill-building and real-life changes.
