Amy Schold, LCSW

Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana who helps people manage stress and anxiety alongside other life challenges. She has two decades of experience supporting people through depression, relationship difficulties, and trying to find their footing during major life changes. Her approach aims to make one appointment feel like a practical step forward.

Amy starts from a client-centered stance, which means she listens first and tailors the work to each person. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are also part of the toolbox she draws on when helpful.

Sessions focus on building skills that apply right away, such as managing overwhelming thoughts, regulating intense emotions, and improving communication. Amy pays attention to both short-term concerns and patterns that show up over time. Her style is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on problem-solving and realistic progress.

With twenty years of practice, she brings experience across mood disorders, addictions, trauma, parenting strains, and related issues like impulse control and obsessive patterns. Amy aims to help people develop strategies that work beyond the therapy hour.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. She works in English and offers services in Louisiana for adults seeking help with stress, anxiety, and many other concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT often includes practical exercises and homework to reduce worry, panic, and depressive habits. Dialectical behavior therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be practiced between sessions and applied to relationship and anger issues.

Client-centered therapy is also central to her work; it means she listens closely and adapts the plan to what each person needs. Deciding on the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will check what feels useful and adjust the methods based on goals and preferences.

The specifics of session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity after a move or during schedule changes, and Amy will help you choose a structure that fits your life.
