About Amy
Amy Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, licensed in Maryland with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and drawn from several therapeutic approaches she uses in practice.
Her background includes supporting young adults with developmental differences in school-based settings and coordinating with education and allied professionals. That experience shaped a practical focus on everyday coping skills and clear communication about needs and supports. Amy aims to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding to stress and strong emotions.
In session she uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to build attention and reduce reactivity. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her work with people who have a history of abuse or traumatic experiences.
She approaches work by helping people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. From there she teaches concrete skills for managing anger, impulsivity, and mood swings. Sessions typically focus on small, usable changes rather than big abstract promises.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this is useful for anger that comes from frozen patterns of thinking or automatic reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that reduce reactivity and improve how someone responds under stress. Mindfulness therapy trains attention and awareness so strong feelings can be noticed earlier and handled differently.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. She aims for practical, step-by-step skill building rather than one-off advice.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into workdays or family routines more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Online work can make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions and bring in real-life examples to discuss during appointments.
