About Amy
Amy Schmoll welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood struggles, grief, addiction, or anger. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Wisconsin with ten years of experience. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping someone take small, clear steps toward feeling better.
She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Amy adapts plans to reflect a person’s history, current pressures, and personal goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all program. Common concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, depression, and substance-related issues, along with related struggles such as attachment and abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, and isolation. She also helps people dealing with life transitions like divorce, midlife questions, and financial stress.
Therapy may include learning emotion-regulation skills, practicing communication strategies, and working through painful memories at a pace that feels manageable. Amy supports people as they build coping skills and make practical changes in everyday life. Her approach is collaborative: she helps set goals and reviews progress together.
Sessions are offered through video, phone, chat, or messaging for flexibility. English-language services are available, and international clients may be accepted.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Many people benefit from focused, skills-based work that targets current symptoms and daily challenges. One effective approach is skills training that teaches emotion regulation, stress management, and coping strategies to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. This kind of work gives concrete techniques to use when feelings become overwhelming.Another useful method is trauma-informed processing, which helps people make sense of painful experiences at a pace they can manage. It aims to reduce the long-term emotional impact of traumatic events and improve how someone responds to reminders or triggers.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they’ll try methods that fit those needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video sessions provide face-to-face interaction when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people access care from different locations.
