About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience who integrates practical, evidence-based methods into short- and long-term work with clients.
Background and approach
She holds LCSW, MD, and LCSW-C credentials and practices from Maryland, drawing on training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address mood and stress-related concerns. Amy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps people identify more effective coping strategies and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her practice focuses on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and anger, alongside related areas such as family-of-origin issues, codependency, impulsivity, and mood disorders. Amy’s background includes coordinating care with multidisciplinary teams in educational settings, which informs her appreciation for working alongside other professionals when relevant.
Prospective clients can expect a supportive therapeutic relationship aimed at practical change and increased emotional resilience.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Many of Amy’s core methods lend themselves to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and skills-based, often involving homework and clear strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills; it is useful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties interfere with daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and which techniques feel most helpful, adjusting the plan over time to match progress and changing needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
Online formats offer flexibility for fitting therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and deeper discussion, phone sessions provide a simpler audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and try different ways of working until a comfortable fit is found.
