About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eleven years of experience who focuses on practical, skills-based care. She uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Amy works in Maryland and brings a calm, nonjudgmental style to sessions.
Amy relies on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping skills. She also integrates mindfulness and trauma-focused work when appropriate.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, building emotional regulation skills, and practicing techniques that reduce anxiety in daily life. Her background includes working with people who have developmental disabilities and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams in educational settings. That work gave her experience coordinating with speech, occupational therapy, and behavior specialists to address practical needs and supports.
Amy aims for a straightforward therapeutic relationship. She helps people identify old patterns, try new ways of responding, and build routines that feel manageable. Her approach emphasizes small, realistic steps rather than dramatic change overnight.
People who choose her often want help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, anger, or mood instability. Amy is comfortable using a mix of skill training, mindfulness exercises, and trauma-focused strategies based on each person’s needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. It uses homework and practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and change behavior patterns.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches concrete skills to manage strong emotions and impulsive reactions, which can help with mood instability and anger.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when more connection is useful. Phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and texting work for brief check-ins, steady support between sessions, or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint is needed.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to practice skills in daily life, and to follow up quickly when challenges come up. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and mindfulness tools effectively across these online options.
