About Amy
Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, phobias, and relationship struggles. She also supports those facing grief, addiction concerns, mood swings, and life changes. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps forward.
Amy uses a client-centered style that begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. From there she blends problem-solving tools with skills training to reduce distress and build resilience.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life situations and usable strategies rather than technical language. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and create alternate behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and managing impulsivity.
Motivational interviewing helps people strengthen their own reasons for change when motivation feels low. Across twenty years of practice Amy has worked with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, family problems, compulsive behaviors, panic, and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to leave people with coping skills they can use after therapy ends.
Amy describes the work as collaborative and respectful. She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match a person with the right scheduling option and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means sessions can shift between skills work, problem solving, or motivational conversations depending on what helps most.
Online therapy makes this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when demonstration or role play helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief coaching, homework support, or ongoing tracking between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life gets in the way.
