Amy Schold , LCSW

Amy Schold is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She has concentrated her recent work on individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and the general task of navigating change and everyday stresses.

Amy works from a client-centered perspective, prioritizing each person's goals, values, and lived experience as the foundation for treatment. She blends that approach with evidence-informed techniques including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to help clients develop practical skills and coping strategies. Her aim is to equip people not only to respond to their current difficulties but also to build resilience for future hurdles.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Amy draws on extensive clinical training and years of practice to create an environment that supports self-worth, dignity, and personal growth. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client's strengths guide the work forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Amy Schold integrates client-centered therapy with targeted skills-based treatments to meet each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and strengths, creating a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is often helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adapts techniques as the work unfolds so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions allow the same therapeutic approaches to be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support when it is most needed, while still working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
