About Amy

Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana who brings 20 years of clinical experience to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, mood disorders, addiction-related concerns, ADHD, and related difficulties.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skill-building alongside emotional support, helping clients cope with life changes, manage impulsivity, and reduce the impact of trauma and compulsive behaviors. Her work is rooted in a client-centered stance that centers each person’s values and goals while incorporating evidence-based techniques.

Amy draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are woven in to increase engagement and promote sustainable change.

She aims to help clients develop tools that address current problems and prepare them for future challenges. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful approach that prioritizes dignity and self-worth.

Amy frames therapy as a partnership, offering guidance and practical strategies while honoring each client’s unique experience and pace of progress.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Amy uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and behavioral routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and impulse control. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are also part of her toolkit, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness useful for mood instability and relationship difficulties. Motivational interviewing is employed to support readiness for change and increase commitment to goals by exploring ambivalence in a collaborative way.

Choosing the right approach tends to be a process rather than an immediate decision. Amy works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, test different techniques, and tailor a plan that fits each person’s goals, preferences, and pace of progress. This collaborative process helps clarify which methods feel most effective and sustainable.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations in Louisiana. These formats allow ongoing skill practice between sessions and make it easier to integrate tools into everyday life, supporting continuity of care for people juggling work, family, and other commitments.
