About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, and trauma. She brings 11 years of experience and a straightforward, nonjudgmental manner to sessions. She works from Maryland and communicates in English.
Amy favors approaches that teach concrete skills. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different coping strategies. She also teaches breathing and attention exercises to reduce overwhelm, and uses focused trauma work when past hurt gets in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in school settings supporting young adults with developmental disabilities and their families. That work involved teaming with educators, speech and occupational therapists, and behavior specialists to address academic and life-skill needs. She draws on those collaborative experiences when coordinating care and setting realistic goals.
In sessions she aims to create a calm, accepting space. Conversations focus on practical steps - changing patterns of thinking, building emotion regulation skills, and practicing new behaviors between meetings. She keeps language plain so people can use what they learn right away.
People who choose Amy often want clear tools and steady support to handle everyday pressures, mood problems, or the effects of past trauma. She asks questions, listens carefully, and helps design plans that fit each person’s life and goals.
Therapy approaches that translate well online
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It usually involves setting clear goals, trying new ways of thinking, and practicing homework between sessions to see practical change.DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful awareness that can be practiced in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That decision may shift over time as needs change, and treatment plans can be adjusted together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill coaching, or when someone prefers written expression. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still using CBT and DBT skills in real situations.
