About Amy

Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Maryland. She uses clear, practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, ADHD, trauma, and anger. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on building a working relationship that feels straightforward and dependable.

She has eleven years of clinical experience and has worked in school settings supporting young adults with developmental disabilities and their families. That work involved coordinating with educators and allied professionals like speech and occupational therapists to address day-to-day challenges. Amy draws on that background when helping people navigate changes at home, school, or work.

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical emotion regulation and interpersonal tools. Mindfulness techniques and trauma-focused approaches are part of her toolkit when past hurt is getting in the way of daily life.

Sessions focus on learning healthier coping skills and clearer ways of thinking. Amy helps people try new strategies in manageable steps and checks in about what works. Her aim is to help clients replace reactive habits with calmer, more useful responses.

People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Amy uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. She conducts therapy in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

How Amy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Amy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into sessions that focus on real-world skills. CBT involves identifying patterns of thinking that fuel stress and anger and testing small changes to see what helps. DBT offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match those needs. Together they decide which skills to practice and how to adapt therapeutic tools to daily routines.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also supports working through emotions and practicing new skills in the environments where challenges actually happen. Licensed professionals can help tailor each session so strategies are practical and usable between visits.
