About Amy
Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana. She has twenty years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or difficult life changes. Many reach out for help with parenting concerns, relationship strain, mood challenges, or substance and process addictions.
She favors a straightforward, person-centered style. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual right now. Amy listens first, then helps people map practical steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and motivational interviewing among other approaches. These methods are aimed at changing unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotion regulation skills, and finding motivation to make meaningful changes. Mindfulness techniques are often woven in to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.
Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, panic, and anger. She also supports people dealing with divorce, family problems, guilt and shame, and women’s issues. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapies and how they work online
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered techniques in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and obsessive or avoidance patterns. DBT focuses on building skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships through emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques. Client-centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person guides the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to stay connected between longer sessions and to share brief updates or coping strategies. These formats make scheduling easier and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
