About Amy

Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD, and a range of mood and behavior concerns.

Background and approach

With 20 years of practice, she works to help clients build practical skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s experience.

Drawing from client-centered principles, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor care to individual needs. This blend is used to strengthen coping strategies, address unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop long-term resilience.

Amy frames therapy as a partnership aimed at increasing self-worth and practical functioning. She invites those ready to work on issues such as mood disorders, obsessive or impulsive behaviors, process addictions, parenting and family challenges, or women’s concerns to consider starting the process and scheduling according to her availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or impulsivity. Each method emphasizes practical, teachable strategies that clients can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all. The therapist will work with clients to understand goals, preferences, and current needs, and then recommend a combination of approaches that fit the situation. Clients are encouraged to provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to receive ongoing support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing daily life.
