About Amy
Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, and addictions. Amy draws on two decades of practice to help people manage mood shifts, impulsivity, and life transitions.
Amy favors a straightforward, client-centered style. She listens first and builds a plan with each person. Sessions aim to teach skills that can be used right away and over time.
Background and approach
Her work often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy strategies to help with strong emotions and impulsive behavior. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to strengthen their motivation for change.
Amy has helped people dealing with bipolar concerns, panic, obsessive and compulsive behaviors, and process addictions like gambling or exercise compulsion. She also supports those facing family problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and women's issues. Therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Amy uses her clinical experience to match approaches to each person's goals and daily life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy starts by focusing on the person and their goals, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most. It helps people feel heard and shapes therapy around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building new coping habits for anxiety, depression, anger, and similar concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal interactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs to decide which methods to use. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so techniques remain useful and relevant.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum toward their goals.
