About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD and anger. She also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, domestic violence, and related concerns.
Amy’s background includes work in school settings supporting young people ages 15 to 22 with developmental disabilities and their families. That experience involved coordinating with education teams, speech and occupational therapists, and behavior specialists to identify practical needs. She brings that practical, team-based perspective into clinical work.
In a session she focuses on learning healthier coping skills and spotting unhelpful thought patterns. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and attention.
Amy also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting daily life. She will work with a person to set realistic steps for change and to build tools for managing stress, mood swings, or impulsivity. Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented.
People who reach out are encouraged to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Amy supports practical problem-solving, clearer boundaries, and stronger day-to-day skills rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
In online sessions Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions so practical alternatives can be practiced between sessions.She also employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. DBT skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when impulsive responses cause problems. Mindfulness practices are offered to support focus, reduce reactivity, and steady attention when stress rises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss goals, listen to what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and recommend approaches that fit the client’s needs and preferences. That plan is adjusted over time based on what works.
The platform’s session formats are not specified in this biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical for busy schedules. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain consistent progress while adapting pacing and homework to real-life routines.
